March of Dimes

The March of Dimes Foundation is a United States nonprofit organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies. It was founded by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt on January 3, 1938 to combat polio. It has since taken up promoting general health for pregnant women and babies. Although not owned by Disney, a few commercials features Walt Disney's contributions for the 1954 March of Dimes campaign against polio, one of them which features recycled animation from Donald's Happy Birthday.
