This year, [GROWNSY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-to-grow), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dadfirmation-station) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quick-change-kit-bag) — 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.
