The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is honored to once again team-up with the March of Dimes in its annual fund raising campaign. Thousands of participants are expected to trek the identified route to help raise funds to support research and programs that improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature births and infant mortality.

All firefighters, families, friends and of course, the public, are encouraged to volunteer their time for this worthwhile charity that takes place in more than 1,400 communities nationwide. This fun-filled, three mile "Walk America” event will take place on:

Saturday, April 28 at Exposition Park from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Registration: 6:30 AM, Pre-March: 7:30 AM & Start Time: 8:30 AM

There will be snacks and giveaways along the walk route, live entertainment, special guests and it's easy to sign up.
