March of Dimes is the name of a United States health charity, whose mission is to improve the health of babies. It was founded in 1938 as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to defeat the epidemic disease polio.
it’s a charity started by a now dead president who started with a ‘dime’ (change)..it’s for people with MD ( muscular distrophy )
and it’s March of Dime’s
March of Dimes is an annual event usually performed by women. They march from home to home to raise money to improve the health of babies. It was formed on Jan. 3, 1938
After supporting the development of two successful vaccines against polio (both Jonas Salk’s and Albert Sabin’s research were partly funded by the March of Dimes), the organization, rather than going out of business, decided in 1958 to use its charitable infrastructure to serve mothers and babies with a new mission: to prevent premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. The organization accomplishes this with programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy.
The March of Dimes was a program to help raise money for polio.
If everyone would give a dime, we could get the funding to beat this terrible disease
The dime is a coin worth ten cents, or one tenth of a United States dollar. The dime is the smallest in diameter and the thinnest of all U.S. coins currently minted for circulation.
But "The March of Dimes" is a national voluntary health organization whose misiion is to
improve the health of infants and children by preventing birth defects and infant
mortality. Founded in 193 8, the Foundation is an historic partnership of scientists,
clinicians, parents, members of the business community, and other local leaders who
work to advance the Foundation’s mission through chapters in every state, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico. The March of Dimes has established a track record of
lifesaving advances for America’s infants and children by hnding programs of research,
community services, education and advocacy.
