March for Babies – Update

Rachel Schindler, the HealthCorps Navigator serving as Program Coordinator for Recess Rocks, wrote the following update on CHC’s involvement in the March of Dimes.

Last Saturday, April 27th, CHC employees and HealthCorps Navigators supported the March of Dimes by participating in their March for Babies walk in Middletown. On a beautiful Saturday morning they got the crowd warmed up with some Recess Rocks routines, and then volunteered to help with all of the kids’ activities, like the bounce house and cotton candy machine, both of which were a huge success!

Everyone had a great time supporting the March of Dimes in preventing babies from being born too soon, too small, and very sick. This Sunday, CHC employees have another opportunity to support the March of Dimes at the March for Babies walk of Central CT, held at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain. Registration starts at 8am with the walk stepping off at 9am. Join your fellow CHC staff at a family-friendly event, which is sure to be a great time!
