On Saturday, April 24 the West Boca KEY Club attended the March of Dimes Walk at FAU (Florida Atlantic University). KEY Club is an organization that helps out the community by volunteering at specific community events and/or creating charity events of their own. To represent West Boca’s involvement, many members showed up to volunteer at the walk. These members helped set up before and during the walk as well. Additionally the KEY Club donated a sum of money to the cause.
The March of Dimes Walk is an effective way to help raise money and awareness for the health of babies. The money collected is used to help prevent birth defects, infant mortality, low birth weight, and premature birth in newborn babies and infants. Babies born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy are considered premature. They have both a very high death rate and a very high disability rate. March of Dimes is a great organization that works to help save babies’ lives, or at least give them a chance to survive.
In order to make a difference in a child’s life you can start by making a generous donation. It is as simple as going online, calling, faxing, or even mailing a check to the foundation. All donations go towards the cause of helping babies live a long, healthy life. With the help of the community and March of Dimes organization, many babies will hopefully have that chance.
