WHITE PLAINS & BEDFORD HILLS – April 17, 2013 – On Thursday, May 2nd at 5:00 p.m. EST Apogee Wellness in White Plains and Bedford Hills will host an inaugural event entitled Spinning for Babies to raise funds in support of the March of Dimes foundation, the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health.

Rebecca Moynihan, Director of Special Projects at the March of Dimes, as well as a member of Apogee, helped formulate the event in an effort to combine her passion for spinning, and love for babies. Moynihan states, “March for Babies fundraising season is still in high gear, so hosting this fitness fundraiser is another great event for anyone to support healthy babies.  We have the most enthusiastic volunteers! For 75 years, millions of volunteers have given dimes and dollars in support of our mission.”  

In 2013, the March of Dimes celebrates its 75th anniversary – honoring its ongoing work to help all babies get a healthy start in life.  About 4 million babies are born in the United States each year, and the March of Dimes has helped each and every one through research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs. The March of Dimes holds numerous events for people of all ages throughout the year that benefit the health of moms and babies. For more information visit marchofdimes.com

General Manager Emily Battiloro states, “We are thrilled by the opportunity to contribute to a national non-profit organization headquartered in our own backyard while locking arms with one of our members in order to accomplish her fundraising goal.”

The cost is $20 for participant, and will be a direct donation to the charity. Additional donations are also accepted as well as raffle items available. Register early to reserve your spot as spaces are limited.
