Pampers Little Miracle Mission ~ $50 AMEX Gift Card Giveaway!

In celebration of its 50th birthday, Pampers is recognizing how much parenting has changed over the years, and is sharing their belief that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected, by unveiling its Little Miracles Mission campaign. This is a program that delivers acts of kindness to miracles and their families while encouraging parents to support others.

The brand recently kicked off the Little Miracle Mission campaign by delivering a giant act of support - donating care packages to Neonatal Intensive Care Units across the country. Celebs Joey Lawrence , Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos and LaLa Anthony were on-hand in New York City to personally deliver a care package and thank you basket to Mt. Sinai Hospital and their staff. How neat is that?!

I was very touched when I learned about this amazing mission and couldn't have been happier when asked if I'd like to be a part of it. Having support as a new or expecting mom is so important and much appreciated. That's why I love what this campaign is all about and that anyone can do it!

I was sent a $50 AMEX Gift Card and challenged to find a way to celebrate, support or protect a new little miracle. There are so many wonderful things that we can do to help new moms and babies, but I decided that I'm going to use mine to help a new mom from our community. I'd like to use the money in a couple of ways. First, I will buy them diapers. Second, I would like to use it to prepare a few meals for them...as we all know how busy those first few weeks with a little one can be. Even small efforts like this mean so much to new and expecting moms!

The public can easily participate in the Miracles Missions programs too, and support little miracles across the country, by logging on to the Pampers Facebook page. Pampers is asking everyone to pay it forward by participating in the first Little Miracle Mission - to congratulate and offer support to an expectant or new mother with a gift or surprise. Once more than 2,500 people pledge that they have achieved this mission, Pampers will respond by giving baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day. Pampers will issue different missions throughout the entire year to celebrate all aspects of parenthood, and with the help of parents, family and friends, they hope to touch the lives of every baby born in the next year.

Win It: Pampers has offered one very lucky reader a $50 Amex Gift Card so they can hopefully bless an expecting or new mommy in some way.
