March for Babies is March of Dimes' Signature Fundraising Event
Round Rock, TX - The
March of Dimes’ signature fundraising event, March for Babies, is this Saturday
and for the first time will be held at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, moving
from its past location at Auditorium Shores in downtown Austin. The 2012 March for Babies event raised $106.2
million nationally for March of Dimes, according to Peggy Tice, office manager
for March of Dimes in Austin. She said the Texas walks typically raise 10
percent of the total amount raised nationally. 76 cents of every dollar raised goes toward
March of Dimes research and advocacy programs to end premature birth, birth
defects and infant mortality. She said
the event draws both those who are walking in memory of a child and those who
are walking in celebration of their child’s recovery. www.fundraisingweb.org

Saturday’s running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Upon purchase of
the ticket, each ticket holder is instructed to write his or her predicted top

gathering of ticket holders is planned at the Oak and Olive . during the
gathering, one ticket will be drawn at random. The ticket holder whose name is
drawn will automatically win $5,000. Then, if the Derby finish matches that
ticket holder’s top five predicted order of finish, he or she will win
$250,000. www.fundraisingweb.org
