"On behalf of the babies and families who will benefit from your compassion and commitment, the March of Dimes wants to thank everyone who met the challenge of 'Be a Hero for Babies Day' and made it a success," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "Farmers agents and their supporters are all heroes for the more than half million babies born too soon and we thank them for their generosity."

Since 2005, Farmers Insurance Group has been one of the top contributors to the March of Dimes.
