Happy 50th Birthday Pampers!

Pampers Commemorates 50th Birthday By Unveiling A Year-Long Program that Delivers Acts of Kindness to Families While Inspiring Others to Pay the Support Forward

NEW YORK (April 13, 2011) — Pampers, the iconic and first baby care brand to distribute disposable diapers around the globe, is turning 50! Pampers honors these 50 years of parenting by unveiling its Little Miracle Missions program, which seeks to celebrate, support and protect babies everywhere through acts of kindness to little miracles (babies) and their families, while encouraging parents to “pay it forward” and support others. On Monday, Pampers and Graham’s Foundation (an organization that provides care packages that offer both practical and emotional support for the parents of micro-preemies) began donating more than 30,000 care packages to families with babies in level-three Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) across the country, for the care of premature or ill newborn babies. Yesterday, Pampers continued the celebration by partnering with a variety of celebrity parents who have their own personal miracle stories. Actors Joey Lawrence and Mark Consuelos, alongside actresses Ali Larter and LaLa Anthony delivered the care packages to The Mount Sinai Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in New York City.

It was a great event to be a part of. Pampers is working hard to help families that are already as stressed as parents can be when their children are in neonatal care units. The stories that we heard were heart breaking. It is also great when famous people can use their celebrity to bring awareness to the world about ways we can all help out.
