How did March of Dimes start?
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. This organization held a fund-raising campaign called the March of Dimes (which asked all Americans to send a dime to the White House, and was called that because there was a popular newsreel at the time called the March of Time--see Eddie Cantor). Side note: This campaign changed the way fund-raising was done in the U.S. because it invited rich and poor to participate, whereas formerly it was only the wealthy who held large dinners and balls to raise money for worthy causes. The fundraiser was so popular that they expanded the foundation and called it the National Foundation. After many March of Dimes fundraisers, it is commonly believed that the name "National Foundation" simply morphed naturally into the name March of Dimes because everyone tended to refer to the Foundation under the name of March of Dimes. Look on the March of Dimes website to see what year they officially adopted the name. I think it was 1974.
