NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
The kick-off for the March
of Dimes was in full force at the Hotel Fredonia in Nacogdoches Thursday.
Individuals and teams were
signing up for the march.
The walk is about raising
awareness and funds to prevent birth defects and prematurity among new-borns.
Participants can determine
for themselves how much money they want to raise.
"It's an amazing
feeling to know that others realize how important this cause is and that we
have to continue to raise these funds so that we can prevent prematurity,"
said Mitchie Kenney, Event Chair.
The goal is to raise $65,000.
The march will be Saturday
April 27th at Pecan Park in Nacogdoches.
