The March of Dimes is gearing up for "March for Babies".  The organization kicked off the event with a luncheon today at the Civic Center.

The event happened at Thompson Park.  This year's goal is to raise $500,000 for the organization.

Money raised through the organization will enable March of Dimes to continue funding programs for the prevention of birth defects, premature births and infant mortality.
