This website is dedicated to the non profit organization, the March of Dimes.

  • The Mission: To improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through
    research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies’ lives.
  • The purpose of this website is to create a database of the NJ March of Dimes events in the year 2011, and map them by county using the ARC GIS software. This project will serve to map the events of the march for dimes against the median income of households in each county, and analyze any correlation between the type of events and income level. In addition, it will map each of the walksites for the March for Babies, and analyze that in regards to the population level around the walk.
