When we sat down with the cast of Teen Mom 2 last month, Chelsea Houska told us about her passion for March of Dimes and its support of healthy babies and their mothers. And she wasn't kidding, yo! On last night's episode of Teen Mom 2, we watched as Chelsea stopped chasing her baby's daddy to focus a bit on giving back by raising money for the March of Dimes.
+ WATCH: Chelsea registers for the March of Dimes' fund-raiser
Chelsea joins the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie in her support for the March of Dimes. If you, too, are interested in helping raise money for the March of Dimes' research that paves the way for stronger, healthier babies, here's a few tips on how to get started:
+ Rally your friends, family, classmates and/or co-workers to start a team! Or you can join a team that's already been formed. You'll be able to set a team fund-raising goal, on top of your own personal goal.
+ Find an event close to you. There are plenty of marches going on all over the country. Register for the one that works best for you and your team.
+ Fund-raise! Once you've created your profile and registered your team near you, start getting the word out about your fund-raising goal. Draft emails, post your fund-raising page on your Facebook, and you can even ask your employer for a business donation like Chelsea did. Remember: every bit counts! It's easier to get lots of people to donate little, than to get a few large donations.
Good luck, and have fun! To learn more about the March of Dimes, or to get registered right now, take action below.
