What a wonderful experience this has been!  When I was first planning my Operation Baby Shower event I had no idea what kind of response I’d get from companies as I sent out my emails.  I am surprised, pleased, and so proud of the number of companies who responded with enthusiasm!

The total retail value of the items sent and donated was just over $1000!

Operation Baby Shower Donations You can see a full line up of our sponsors and read reviews of the items they provided on this page.

Yesterday, I loaded up the car with all the donations, and drove to our local military base where representatives from the Friends of Family Support (a private organization that supports programs for local military families) met me to unload the donations.

They are so grateful to have received all these donations, and are sure that the families receiving them will be so excited!

I want to send out a huge (huge isn’t a big enough word) Thank You!  to all the brands who participated!  Thank you so much for giving of you time and product to support families in need!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

If you’d like to show your thanks to the companies who participated feel free to write on their Facebook wall or tweet them.  You can find all their links at the Operation Baby Shower Sponsor page.
