McNabb hasn’t just been helped by the March of Dimes, the wife of former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb also promotes and supports this nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health care.
After the McNabbs’ twins were born in December 2008, the infants spent two weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees, so McNabb felt the reach of the March of Dimes.
“They did a lot for myself and my family with the twins being in NICU,” McNabb said. “We have friends with children who were premature and spent time in the intensive care unit and the March of Dimes really stepped in and helped them as well.”
The twins, Donovan Jr. and Sariah, are both doing well.
“They are a bundle of joy,” McNabb said.
McNabb continues her local commitment to the March of Dimes even after Donovan McNabb’s recent trade to the Washington Redskins.
She is the honorary chairwoman of the Camden and Burlington County March for Babies Committee, which will sponsor its annual walk this month.
“I am hoping to help educate and by education, people can actually see what the organization does and they will be more willing to open up their pockets,” said McNabb, the mother of four.
The Camden and Burlington walk will take place along Camden’s waterfront on April 25, starting 8 a.m. at Campbell’s Field. The walk will wind through several riverfront attractions and across the Ben Franklin Bridge. At least 3,000 sponsored walkers are expected to participate.
Last year’s walk raised just over $350,000.
McNabb’s babysitter has been doing the walk for years. Each year, McNabb has donated to her walk for the March for Babies.
The March for Babies supports the organization’s mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
“We are deeply honored that Raquel McNabb will serve as the honorary chairwoman of the Camden and Burlington March for Babies Committee,” said Susan Sczechowicz, community director of the Camden and Burlington County March for Babies. “Raquel and her family have done so much to support the mission of March of Dimes, and I can’t thank them enough.”
The McNabbs made a six-figure donation to the NICU in the Virtua Hospital under construction in Voorhees. They also committed to help raise $2.5 million to fund the construction and technology needed for the NICU.
The completed NICU will be named The McNabb Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
