Founded by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938 to defeat polio, the Foundation accomplished its mission in the mid-fifties. March of Dimes funded research led to the development of polio vaccines by Dr. Jonas Salk and Dr. Albert Sabin. Since then, the Foundation has devoted its effort to saving babies' lives and preventing birth defects. The March of Dimes is the leading advocate for the health of mothers and babies. With the help and support of the American people, the March of Dimes has saved the lives of millions of babies over the past 60 years, and we won't stop until every baby is born healthy.
