March of Dimes, a national not-for-profit health agency dedicated to improving the health of babies, and Scrapblog, the first web-based service for creating and sharing multimedia scrapbooks, has teamed up to launch the ‘Every Baby Has a Story’ campaign.
It is a national grassroots project that invites moms and dads to tell their most memorable, relevant, inspiring or humorous baby stories through an online scrapbook powered by Scrapblog. Participants can easily create compilations of images, videos, audio and captions to tell a baby’s story.
Scrapbooks can then be shared with family and friends by email or on social networking sites. Those who receive an online scrapbook also can donate to the March of Dimes, which works to give every baby a healthy start in life.
In addition to the Web site, the March of Dimes ‘Every Baby Has a Story Tour’ motorcoach will be traveling to 15 cities nationwide from October 17 to November 13. Equipped with computers and Internet access, it will invite visitors to walk in and learn how they can create an ‘Every Baby Has a Story’ scrapbook of their own.

WalkAmerica is now March for Babies!
You may have heard the news…March of Dimes has changed the name of our signature event, WalkAmerica. It’s now called March for Babies. Our new name makes it very clear who we’re walking for ― all babies.
Help your readers stay informed. Please update your blog with the new name and logo anywhere the WalkAmerica event is mentioned…every mention of our new event name helps spread the word about our name change and our new look.
Visit our Web site at http://www.marchforbabies.org/SpreadtheWord for our new logo and other materials to help us spread the word.
While our event name is different, our mission remains the same. March of Dimes is still the champion for babies – raising funds needed for research and programs that make a difference in the lives of babies and their families.
We appreciate your interest in the March of Dimes. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail our Media Representative [email protected] if you have any questions about our new name or our event.
One day all babies will be born healthy, but we have to walk to get there.
Thank you,
March for Babies Team
