Brothers of Delta Lambda supported the March of Dimes’ March for Babies walk on Sunday, Apr. 30 in Hunt Valley, MD, raising more than $7,000 to fund maternal healthcare equity initiatives throughout the region.

The chapter’s team drew 22 brothers and surpassed its original fundraising goal of $4,000.

“Our brothers met the challenge in a dynamic way,” said Bro. Lawrence Williams [Eta Tau Lambda, 01′], chairperson for the chapter’s March for Babies initiative and leading fundraiser for the walk. “We are committed to doing our part to combat negative health and birth outcomes, particularly for Black women. We appreciate the support of our neighbors and friends who contributed to our team and this noble cause.”

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the March of Dimes have partnered for more than 40 years in areas of sexual and maternal health. The partnership implemented Project Alpha in 1980, designed to provide education, motivation, and skill-building on responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years.
