Organizers of March for Babies Seeking Volunteer Support
March of Dimes is seeking volunteer support for its March for Babies event, which will take place on April 30 at Nova Southeastern University.
The proceeds will “benefit all babies – those born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive,” the organizers say.
Each year in Florida, one out of nine babies is born premature. March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health, spends 76 percent of the money raised from March for Babies on research and support programs. The March of Dimes Broward Division is seeking volunteers for the day of the event. Volunteers will assist during one of two shifts, 6 a.m.–noon or 8 a.m.–1 p.m. Each volunteer will be assigned to the Kids Corner, Spirit Stop, Champions Club, Main Stage, Family Tent, Photo Zones, Start Line, Finish Line, Registration Information, Food Court, or First Aid.
For further information, contact Liz James in the Center for Community Service Initiatives (CCSI) at ljames@barry.edu or 305-899-3728.
