Butterflies for Babies!


If you've walked with us in the past, you may remember our the Butterfly Garden in honor of the children who have affected our lives. This year we're doing things a little differently by offering beautiful butterfly signs to be carried by your team at the walk. They are also great for family and friends who want to display them in the yard!



What are they benefits of buying a butterfly?
  • Each butterfly sign is a beautiful way to honor any special child in your life.
  • A butterfly purchase can be credited to your team, so it is a great gift for people who support your team.
  • These great butterfly signs can be carried by team members during the walk to remind everyone who they are walking for.

Honor a special baby in your life by purchasing a Butterfly to be carried by your team at the walk. This is a great way to honor ALL babies....those born healthy, prematurely, with a birth defect, and those who have passed away

Butterflies can be purchased for a minimum donation of $25.00/butterfly. Each butterfly will have a baby's name and birthday printed on it. Butterflies can be picked up at the March of Dimes office on April 30 or May 1 or picked up at the Product Sales tent at the walk.
