Just in time for Mother's Day, consumers can celebrate special moms in their lives and reassure them of a job well done by creating a personalized digital Care Card on Facebook, by visiting johnsonsbabycares.com. For every Care Card sent, shared or 'liked' JOHNSON'S® Baby will donate $1.001, benefitting Save the Children® programs such as Early Steps to School Success, an early childhood education initiative. The Early Steps program works with more than 10,000 children, parents and caregivers annually to help provide a brighter future through early childhood education.
"JOHNSON'S® Baby understands that every mom, no matter her situation, could always use encouragement," said Ivy Brown, Marketing Director, JOHNSON'S® Baby. "We also recognize that positive reassurance throughout the early years of motherhood is essential to both mom and baby's well-being. By sending a JOHNSON'S® Baby Care Card, you can share valuable words of encouragement to a worthy mom in your life, and also help raise funds for Save the Children's® early childhood education programs."
For the second year, JOHNSON'S® Baby CARES is proud to again partner with actress, recording artist and first time mom, Hilary Duff, who will actively participate in this year's campaign efforts, including a Save the Children® Early Steps program visit in Yucca Valley, California. During her trip, Hilary Duff met with families and created her own JOHNSON'S® Baby Care Cards to support the program.
"I recently celebrated my baby's first birthday. Looking back on my first year of motherhood, I am so thankful for the support I received from my husband, family and friends which helped get me through the more challenging days," said Hilary Duff. "With a few inspiring words and positive encouragement, particularly from other moms who I can now relate to best, I felt reassured that I was doing okay. Not all moms have this daily support, which is why I'm proud to once again partner with JOHNSON'S® Baby CARES and spread the word on how JOHNSON'S® Baby Care Cards are helping to encourage and celebrate moms across the country."
"Save the Children® is grateful for the critical support mothers and children have received through our partnership with JOHNSON'S® Baby CARES," said Carolyn Miles, President and CEO of Save the Children®. "This collaboration enables us to provide thousands of moms with the skills and tools they need to ensure their children have a fair chance at a brighter future."
