Virtual Baby Walk
We need virtual walkers and teams for the "First Annual Virtual Baby Walk". A virtual baby walk gives participants who cannot attend a scheduled walk, a way to support Tomorrow's Child/Michigan SIDS. Virtual walkers who register and raise a minimum of $50.00 will receive a baby walk t-shirt, and be eligible for all of our event awards. Together we can make a difference in the lives of our Michigan babies and families.
Please click on the walk location below and build your virtual walk team or sign up as an individual.

Select a walk and register today!
You can register for a Baby Walk as an individual or as part of a team. All adults (over age 18) are asked to contribute a minimum of $20, either by paying themselves or collecting it in pledges. Children (17 and under) pay no entry fee but will receive all of the benefits of registration and may participate in their own pledge collecting or donating. Everyone is strongly encouraged to collect pledges above the minimal entry fee. Your first $20 earns you a Baby Walk T-Shirt, refreshments and food, and festive family-friendly activities at the Baby Walk.
It is your commitment to raising pledges that helps support the Programs and services of Tomorrow's Child/Michigan SIDS the most. Bring your completed pledge form along with your collected donations to the walk check-in table before your Baby Walk start time.
