ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Graco is
excited to announce that it will be partnering with non-profit
organization, Baby2Baby, to help families in need gain access to
the necessary baby gear to keep little ones safe. To start the
partnership, Graco donated over $250,000 in product including a variety of car
seats, strollers, playards, swings and highchairs to support the
children living in poverty Baby2Baby serves. Educational materials
on car seat safety and safe sleep will accompany the donation,
helping to support Baby2Baby's programs and providing parents with
tips and tools to assist in keeping their little ones
protected.
"We are thrilled to be teaming up with Baby2Baby to offer
families access to thousands of baby products," said Laurel Hurd, Segment President, Learning &
Development, Newell Brands. "For
over 60 years, Graco has been committed to providing parents with
thoughtful and safe solutions, and we are happy to bring our
innovations to families in need through Baby2Baby's network."
In addition to the product donation, Graco will also give
$10,000 to support Baby2Baby's Sweet
Dreams initiative, which aims to provide every child with a safe
place to sleep. Sleep safety is an important issue to the
organization, as the cost of safe sleep options is prohibitive for
many low-income families, making children living in poverty the
most vulnerable. As Graco's top priority is to develop safe
products for children, this partnership was one they were eager to
support.
"We are so thankful to Graco for their generous
donation of over $250,000 worth of
essential items for the children and families in our program.
These playards, car seats and strollers are game-changing safety
items for the children in poverty we serve, and we could not think
of a better way to celebrate Baby Safety Month," Baby2Baby
co-presidents, Kelly Sawyer Patricof
and Norah Weinstein.
The partnership kicks-off in September
2019, in honor of Baby Safety Month, and is rooted in their
shared belief that all children should have access to a safe mode
of transportation, a safe place to sleep and a safe place to
develop, grow and learn. With this donation, Graco and Baby2Baby
hope to make a positive impact on low-income communities.
