Welcome! Walk America is now March for Babies! I hope you will find this handcrafted lens a unique and useful resource for your 2008 March for Babies|fundraising experience. I have two goals with this Squidoo lens:
First, Provide YOU with unique, useful and updated information on the amazing March of Dimes organization, the March for Babies events, information on what other walkers are doing and unique ways to energize your fundraising, motivate your team & inspire yourself!
Second, I'd like to introduce myself and Buttons of Hope
for your consideration. I started Buttons of Hope to give people like you a way to personalize your cause. Rather than just scribbling a name on the back of your t-shirt -- now you can easily create your own custom photo button to honor a baby or support a Mom, a Family! Imagine if everyone at the March for Babies wore a button with the smiling face of a loved one, WOW! [more on Buttons of Hope and me below]
