Pampers Little Miracle Missions & $300 Gift Card Giveaway!

I've got exciting news from Pampers. Thanks to all your support and commitment to the first Miracle Mission surrounding Mother’s Day, Pampers reached their initial goal and as promised, will be throwing 1,000 baby showers, with the help of Points of Light Institute, for expectant mothers across the country in May and June. If you're new to the Pampers year-long Little Miracle Missions campaign, please read my previous post and see how you can help to pay it forward.




Here's a video showing a Pampers-sponsored surprise baby shower for an expecting mom in Cleveland, Ohio. Besides lots of baby necessities, the lucky mom even received a brand new Dell laptop. Wow! I've also included below a couple pictures from the event.

Mission #2 is to make a dad's first Father’s Day one he’ll never forget. Once 4,000 people pledge to find a way for fathers to bond with their babies, Pampers will respond by throwing special Father’s Day cook-outs for dads and babies across the country. You can participate by logging on to Pampers Facebook page, landing on the Miracle Missions tab and clicking “I WANT TO HELP.” Plus, you will be given the chance to win a year’s supply of Pampers diapers and wipes after taking the pledge!

The Giveaway

Here comes the best part. In addition to the 1,000 baby showers they're sponsoring nationwide, Pampers has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a $300 American Express Gift Card to throw an awesome baby shower for an expectant mother! Are you up to the challenge to pay it forward?
