March for Babies is March of Dimes’ largest annual fundraiser. The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this. And I need your help.

Guess what? There’s a March for Babies being held right near you!

Lace up your sneakers on Saturday, April 28th,

2013 for the Midlands (Greater Columbia) March

of Dimes. But first you’ve got to sign up!

In 1981, the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina at Lake Waccamaw became the Carolinas District Project. The Boys and Girls Homes is a residential group care home for abused, neglected and dependent children between the ages of nine and eighteen.

How have we been making a difference?

The Carolinas District has helped the Girls and Boys Homes by donating clothes, toys, food, school supplies, hygiene products, time, and money. Our District helped provide funds for the Leamon E. Rogers Memorial Chapel built in 2001. We have also started Keys to the Vans, which helps to provide vehicles for the Girls and Boys Homes, and Christmas for Children, which raises money to give the children a memorable Christmas.

Now do your part!

You can help support the Boys and Girls Home by participating in Shake-Rattle-and-Roll. Fill up a bottle with change during the next two months and bring it to District Convention. The bottles will be collected on Friday night after the opening session. Please invite your club to collect change and bring a bottle to District Convention! At District Convention, we will also be selling Together-We-Can Ribbons for $1. Please bring some cash to District Convention so you can purchase one!

We want YOU to shake, rattle, and roll!

These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” Joseph Addison “Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” Jamie Paolinetti
