Be a part of one of the biggest events for March for Babies in Indiana at the Terre Haute March for Babies April 24th at ISU Memorial Stadium.

When you walk, you give hope to the families of babies born too soon or sick. The money you raise supports programs in our community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies.

We’ve been walking since 1970 and have accomplished a lot that benefits all babies.  For more details on how March for Babies has impacted the lives of babies and families, visit “why we walk” at http://www.marchforbabies.org/

Refreshment Services Pepsi of Terre Haute is a sponsor of this event. And their logo is proudly displayed on the new arch.

Here is a photo of the archway this past weekend before our event with me underneath wearing the IF t-shirt.  The photo shows the archway with a banner covering the Red Eye Relay logo.  The event was the Coach Hep Cancer Challenge.  It was a 5K Run, 2K Walk and Bike rides of various distances.  The arch worked great and looks wonderful.

Everyone loved it.  I can’t wait to use it at the Red Eye this summer.  Thanks for making such a nice inflatable and meeting our timeline!
