Each spring, Los Angeles County formally designates March of Dimes March for Babies as its official Countywide fundraiser, approved annually by the Board of Supervisors and embraced across departments. Each department participates as its own team, led by volunteer captains and supported by simple, community-driven fundraisers, including activities hosted by the Department of Human Resources, with proceeds benefiting the walk. It’s a powerful reflection of Angelenos supporting Angelenos; public servants caring for the same families, neighborhoods, and communities they call home.

Together, these grassroots efforts add up to something extraordinary: more than $6.4 million raised over the years, the highest total of any government agency nationwide!! Funds help expand health education, advocacy, and local programs that give moms and babies across Los Angeles and the nation the strongest possible start. When County employees fundraise, volunteer, and walk, they’re not just supporting a cause; they’re standing up for their neighbors. This spring, join your department’s team and be part of this proud tradition of building healthier families and a stronger Los Angeles, together.
