Stepping Up for a Stronger Future at March for Babies

Koppers employees in Pittsburgh were proud to support the annual March for Babies Walk, a community fundraising event hosted by March of Dimes.

March of Dimes is a nonprofit focused on preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality through research, education, and family support programs. The organization’s March for Babies Walk is a nationwide event that raises awareness and critical funds for this work.

During this year’s walk, Koppers employees, families, and friends came together to participate and enjoy a morning of activities and community connection. In the weeks leading up to the event, team members participated in a variety of engagement efforts, including a kickoff lunch-and-learn, raffles, coin wars between floors, and a March Madness bracket challenge.

Thanks to the generosity and involvement of employees, more than $12,000 was raised in support of March of Dimes!
