A Little Change can Change A LOT!

*I received this e-mail and really wanted to pass it on. Thanks for not rolling your eyes at me!

HOW MANY BABIES WILL YOU SAVE?

The March of Dimes is going back to its roots by collecting coins, and we need your help. As someone who cares about making a real difference for babies, please Join the March of Dimes - How Many Babies Will You Save? coin collection campaign.

By collecting change from your home, office and cars, you can turn your small change into big change for babies. The March of Dimes estimates that literally billions in change is sitting in American homes. Babies need all the change you can spare.

Through a partnership with Coinstar, you can simply take your change to a local Coinstar Center, press donate to the March of Dimes option on the machine, and pour in your change. Or, if you're not near a Coinstar Center, you can take the change to your March of Dimes chapter.

For more information about the program as well as locations of Coinstar Centers, go to marchofdimes.com. Coin collection kits are also available. You can use these to get your family and friends to participate. Order your kits today!

There is no better time to collect coins than in November during National Prematurity Awareness Month! It's a month when caring people all over the United States show their support for the March of Dimes and our work to help every baby get off to a healthy start.
