Show Area donates $84,000 to March of Dimes More than $84,000 was donated to the March of Dimes by southern Utah residents in the recent Mothers March. "We're pleased with the results of the week-long campaign," said Jean Hatch, director of the March of Dimes in Provo. "We didn't meet our goal, but we still raised a substantial amount of money to help fight birth defects." More than 4,000 volunteers canvassed neighborhoods from Utah Valley to St. George soliciting donations as part of the annual Mothers March. About $38,000 was donated by Utah County residents, with the rest coming from 18 counties in southern Utah. The money will be spent preventing birth defects through education and research, Hatch said. |
