WalkAmerica is one of the nations oldest and most well known walk-a-thons and is the March of Dimes largest single fundraising event, both nationally and locally. Since its start in two March of Dimes chapters in 1970, WalkAmerica has raised over $1 billion for cutting edge research and innovative prevention programs that save babies lives. Research has enabled life saving programs such as neonatal intensive care units and the development of surfactant - a therapy for infants suffering from severe respiratory distress. The success of WalkAmerica and the success of the March of Dimes in achieving its mission are closely linked. In 2006, WalkAmerica participants raised over $150 million at more than 1,000 walk sites nationwide. The 2007 NC WalkAmerica program is projected to have over 25,000 walking at 55 sites, raising more then $4 million. The Foothills Division, located in Conover, raised almost $500,000 in 2006. Let’s top this record by getting serious and helping the March of Dimes continue its work to prevent birth defects and infant mortality. 2007-2008 SGA Officers Elected SGA elections were held on March 27 & 28 and the following officers were elected for the 2007-2008 school year.
