12th Annual Black Infant Mortality Awareness Walk
Black babies in the United States are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday, and Black women face significantly higher risks during pregnancy and postpartum.
These outcomes are not inevitable—they are preventable.
At BIMAW, we walk to:
-Raise awareness
-Honor lives
-Support families
-Advocate for change
-Build a stronger, healthier future for Black mothers and babies
With every step, we move closer to equity.
What to Expect:
This isn’t your average awareness walk—this is a full community experience:
✅ A meaningful community walk
✅ Wellness tent (mental health resources + quick sessions)
✅ Free produce giveaway (while supplies last)
✅ Food trucks, including plant-based options
✅ Live music from DJ Doop
✅ Kids relays + bounce houses
✅ Family-friendly activities
✅ Community organizations + resource tables
✅ Corporate + community team participation
Your participation directly supports:
-Doula services and birth support
-Maternal health education
-Mental health and wellness programs
-Advocacy and systems change
-Community-based care for Black families
Whether you’re walking in honor of someone, showing up for your community, or simply looking to be part of something meaningful, there is space for you at BIMAW.
