In South Carolina, 1 in 9 babies are born too soon. Premature babies often spend their first weeks or months in the NICU struggling to survive and may have life-long health and developmental consequences.

March for Babies raises money to fund vital research into the causes of premature birth, and to fund community programs aimed at healthier pregnancies.

Local sponsors include: Presenting Sponsor, Roto Rooter Plumbing & Drain, Greenville Health Systems, The Esso Club, Thrift Brothers, The Ridge Clemson, Clemson Family Dentistry, and Issaqueena Pediatric Dentistry.
