The Cedar Rapids March for Babies was met with beautiful weather and a very large turnout. The event was a big success, with the benefits to be seen in the future.

The 2016 March of Dimes March for Babies was held at the Rockwell Collins Sports Complex Sunday morning with nearly 1,500 walkers collecting an estimated $175,000 in donations that goes to research to fight against premature birth, birth defects, and more.
