Spanish-language educational messages,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, President of the March of Dimes.
“It uses an influential media personality and gives us the chance to help more Spanish-speaking moms
have stronger, healthier babies.”
Todobebé is also demonstrating its commitment to supporting key March of Dimes initiatives through its
multimedia platforms, including the March for Babies event and National Prematurity Month. The March
of Dimes will also cross promote Todobebé’s unique properties and content at national Hispanic
conventions, such as the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) www.lulac.org and the
