Beginnings: Babypalooza 501-c3 Non-Profit

Babypalooza Inc. a 501-c3 non-profit was formed to contribute educational solutions to address the extremely high maternal and infant mortality rates in the United States. Especially among black moms who are four times more likely to die in childbirth than white moms.

According to the CDC, more than 60% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. Subsequently, Babypalooza seeks to decrease the impact of these conditions by partnering with community stakeholders to educate women on critical pregnancy and infant care topics and help them plug into a support network.

Childcare Resources is a local non-profit United Way partner agency with a mission to serve children and families in central Alabama. It is worthwhile for our agency to regularly attend community events that assist us in raising awareness for our programs and services to audiences who may benefit from them. Babypalooza has been a key event in which we enjoy participating to share our resources and helpful knowledge with attendees. Without the booth being complimentary for Babypalooza, we would have to decline this event. We prioritize our resources to benefit children and families.

Joan WrightExecutive Director, Childcare Resources

We are so grateful to partner with Babypalooza over the years. Attending their baby expos has allowed us to spread awareness about our mission of getting basic, essentials like diapers, wipes, and period products- into the hands of our neighbors.
