Walk for Midwives

MORE INFORMATION ON SPECIFICS COMING SOON - BUT HERE IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION!

On October 3, we’ll be joining citizens in communities across the state to help raise funds and awareness as we work for greater access to midwives and better maternity care in Alabama. 

The Walk for Midwives is part of the Alabama Birth Coalition’s campaign to raise $55,000 to support our vital public policy and educational work. A nonprofit, all-volunteer, grassroots organization, the Alabama Birth Coalition relies on the generous support of our sponsors and individual donors to make this work possible.

Get Ready to Walk!

Here’s what you need to do:

Pre-register by September 17 to let us know you’re coming and guarantee your free t-shirt size. Just fill out the registration form and mail it with your donation to Alabama Birth Coalition, PO Box 121, Montevallo, AL 35115. Or you can make a secure donation online via PayPal on our website at alabamabirthcoalition.org and email your registration info to alabamabirth@gmail.com.

Can’t pre-register? That’s okay! You can also register after September 17 all the way up until the day of the Walk. Those registering after September 17 will receive free t-shirts based on availability.

Invite your loved ones to walk with you. This will be a fun, casual event, suitable for all ages, so bring the family with you!

Ask your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to sponsor you in the Walk! Just fill out the Sponsor form and bring it along with cash or check donations to the Walk. Your sponsors can also donate online at our website, alabamabirthcoalition.org. Every gift makes a huge difference for our work.

And did you hear? A generous donor has offered up to $25,000 in matching funds for donations to the Walk for Midwives! That means every dollar you and your sponsors give will be matched, dollar for dollar!
