Blast Off for March of Dimes

UF Health has raised more than $1 million for babies

By: Leah Harms

Join us on our mission to save babies at the annual March of Dimes, March for Babies event! We’re blasting off at 8:50 a.m. on Saturday, April 13 from Celebration Pointe.

For almost two decades, UF Health has supported this important event and our teams have raised more than $1 million to date. The UF Health Women’s Center will act as our mission control from our spirit station, and as a place for walkers to recharge and refuel for the rest of their 4-mile space flight.

READY TO SUPPORT THE MISSION?
