Gold Sponsors EVENT COMMITTEE March of Dimes AMBASSADOR FAMILY
Each year the March of Dimes selects a special child whose life was saved by our research, programs or educational campaigns to speak at the Sports Luncheon. As a living symbol of the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies, this ambassador plays a vital role in our efforts to personalize this mission. Special thanks to Mariana, now 4 years old, and her parents Joe and Damaris for sharing their personal story and helping us raise almost $50,000 to Fund the Mission of the March of Dimes.
