This year, GROWNSY, a baby care brand trusted by over three million households globally, partnered with the Good+ Foundation for the second annual Daddy Summer Stroll. This family-oriented event was held in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
The motivation behind the Daddy Summer Stroll activation was to celebrate engaged fatherhood and raise awareness about the need for essential baby and toddler gear among underserved families. As part of this collaboration, GROWNSY donated 69 units of baby care products — valued at approximately $10,000 — and these included items designed to support feeding, hygiene, rest, mobility, and everyday infant care. The products are to be distributed through Good+ Foundation's network of social service partners to families with young children.
The Daddy Summer Stroll partnership marked GROWNSY's first major nonprofit collaboration in the United States market.
