If you're looking for an outdoor activity Saturday that benefits an important cause -- the March of Dimes is having its annual walk at Thompson Park at 10:00 a.m.

Wednesday was "Money Day" for the organization.

That's when the agency joins forces with the People's Federal Credit Union and offers up a counting room for all the team captains who bring in what's been collected so far and their goal is $360,000.

Each year, the March of Dimes continues raising money to help parents -- because it touches every baby's life, according to director, Vicki Brooks.

"Every baby is touched by the March of Dimes. From newborn screenings to the neo-natal intensive care unit, these heroes save these babies every single day and thay're amazing people and we're happy to be associated with them."

For more information, call their office at (806)553-2390 or go online at www.Marchforbabies.org.
