- Host a Garage Party – What’s better than a party? We’ve packaged flyers, brochures, tablecloths, decorations and more for you so you can host a fundraising get together. Invite your friends, family and colleagues to your home, share information about March of Dimes’ Bikers for Babies, and help us reach our $200,000 goal!
