Singer and actress Hilary Duff, two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, supermodel Niki Taylor, 3 million volunteers, and 20,000 companies have one common goal: they all March for Babies to help give every baby a healthy start.
Celebrities are again lending their star power to bring attention to this year’s March for Babies, the March of Dimes premier fundraising event that will take place in 700 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico at the end of April.
March for Babies has been held annually since 1970 and has raised a combined total of more than $2.3 billion to help all babies get a healthy start in life. The goal for this year’s event is to raise more than $106 million.
“The support we receive from every volunteer is invaluable and celebrity support always has been a hallmark of our history,” says Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes.
In Los Angeles, Hilary Duff plans to join the March for Babies walk April 26th in Exposition Park. A mom to two-year-old son, Luca, Ms. Duff is supporting this year’s campaign with new public service advertisements and messages to fans and March of Dimes supporters.
Joining her will be Shanola Hampton, who stars on the Showtime hit series, Shameless. Both moms will be joined by friends and family all in support of mom and baby health.
