Babies Helping Babies
Pittsburgh Diaper Derby
Over 200 local babies and pre-schoolers will compete in a baby race at North Way Mall Shoppes in the North Hills to benefit needy families. The Pittsburgh Diaper Derby will be held at the former Value City Space in North Way Mall from 10:00AM until 1:00PM. Contestants 5 years old or younger are expected to raise thousands of dollars benefitting four local Charities.
On your mark, get set, …crawl. The Pittsburgh Diaper Derby is about babies “racing” to help babies. Children up to age 5 will walk, toddle or crawl their way to the finish line while raising funds for needy families in Pittsburgh. The baby sized “races” take place at North Way Mall. All contestants receive free give aways and prizes. Underwriters include S&T Bank, Lamar Advertising, Henne Jewelers, Peace Love and Little Donuts, Anderson Insurance, H&R Block, and others. All proceeds go directly to programs benefitting needy moms through the Women’s Choice Network, Young Lives Three Rivers, Choices Pregnancy Services, and Young Lives East. Many of the moms involved in these programs will have contestants entered in the Pittsburgh Diaper Derby as a way to give back to the community.
