March for Babies – we're ready!

March for BabiesThe time has finally come! This Saturday morning, hundreds of people (including PTC) will descend upon Julia Davis Park in Boise for the annual March for Babies Walk. Tomorrow marks the 7th year we’ve joined many many others in an effort to raise money for the March of Dimes and there is still time to join us! If you can’t happen to make it out for the Spring stroll (on what should be a beautiful day), you can still donate to the March of Dimes! Visit marchofdimes.org to find other upcoming walks and to donate to help the cause.

Be sure to check out the March for Babies route (PDF) for a full map of the starting point and checkpoint areas. Thank you for your support; with your help, we’ve raised almost $4,000 this year! We’ll see you all tomorrow morning – 9am!
