In an effort to spread diaper need awareness throughout the state, Connecticut Partnership for Children’s Valley Diaper Bank is hosting two fun events that are all about diapers!
On Saturday, April 5th, in conjunction with Quinnipiac University’s “Big Event,” volunteers will be posted outside the Diaper Bank’s office at 135 Main Street, in Downtown Seymour for the 3rd Annual “Diaper Drive-By.”
Members of the community are invited to donate diapers and wipes at this location, by driving up and dropping off their donation. All donors will receive a free gift for participating!
On Saturday, May 31st, CTPFC will host the 1st Annual Diaper Dash 5K & Family Fun Run/Walk, which will start and end at Seymour High School. This event will take place on a certified course and all participants will be timed. Registration is $25 now through March 31st, and $30 April 1st-Race Day. Children ages 4 & under are FREE in strollers.
Participants are encouraged to form teams and register in groups of five or more (although this is not required for participation).
Name your team, wear the same color hat, be creative- show team spirit! To view the race map, review registration incentives, and to register, visit http://www.thediaperdash5k.com/
The Diaper Dash 5K will also feature a Children’s Fun Run/Walk at 8:30am for all registered participants ages 12&under. Additionally, the event will feature “Stuff-A-Truck” with diapers, so bring a package of diapers to show your support! The first 500 Diaper Dash registrants will receive a dry-wick tee shirt.
