Last weekend, United Van Lines helped support the March of Dimes at the St. Louis Bike Show held at Wentzville Crossing Expo Center. United Van Lines donated the use of a trailer, which was positioned in front of expo center to display a banner with information regarding the event.

The St. Louis show was a three-day event, with a total of 110,000 square feet of American steel and one-of-a-kind custom motorcycles. Some of the huge draws to the show were the presence of celebrity bike builders and their creations. A constant stream of people came through the show’s doors to look at the bikes and help support the March of Dimes.

The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies and in 2003 launched a campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth.
