In the U.S. today, premature birth is a serious infant health issue.

More than half a million babies are affected each year, that includes one out of 10 babies born in Wyoming.

The March of Dimes is committed to funding research to find the answers to problems that continue to threaten the lives and the health of babies. Funds raised by March for Babies in Wyoming help support prenatal wellness programs, research grants, NICU family support programs and advocacy efforts for stronger, healthier babies.

There are two events planned to help the March of Dimes fundraising efforts which will continue their work to find answers for healthier babies.
