The Infant Gear Fund Dinner

Saturday, July 28th

The Infant Gear Fund was created in 2006 to meet the needs of our families for essential gear items, such as strollers, cribs, high chairs and play yards. This initiative allowed Baby Buggy to purchase items at the lowest cost available and deliver them to families in need in New York City. The funds raised at this event have allowed us to provide our families with critical gear for the next 12 months.

The Infant Gear Fund Dinner was sponsored by Gucci in 2006 and Salvatore Ferragamo in 2007.

The Baby Buggy Bedtime Bash

The Baby Buggy Bedtime Bash was held on May 22, 2007 as a family-fun party in support of Project Safe Sleep, Baby Buggy's initiative that has delivered more than 3,000 cribs to the city's newborns in need. The success of this event allowed us to extend our Project Safe Sleep to Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.

Baby Buggy In The Hamptons

July 31st to August 12th.

At the request of so many of our donors Baby Buggy headed east this summer. The great spirit of giving that already exists in the Hamptons made it the ideal place to extend our mission. All summer we asked families to donate their gently used and new baby gear and clothing to the many infants in need who live in this area. We are very happy with the success of this drive. We encourage you to stay in touch with our 2006 Hamptons Drive Partners by contacting them directly at the numbers below to make arrangements to drop off donations.

Truth Be Told: The Festival of Lies Was a Great Success!

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity and talent of Jerry Seinfeld and our benefit chairs, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, and friends Anderson Cooper, Stephen Colbert and Colin Quinn, Baby Buggy’s 2006 fundraiser was a smashing success. Nearly 1,000 guests gathered on Monday, February 13th at Jazz at Lincoln Center for the Festival of Lies. This benefit was the perfect way to support and celebrate the continued efforts of Baby Buggy while highlighting the seriousness of the fact that 500,000 New York City children live in poverty.

With Anderson Cooper as host and Jerry Seinfeld, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert and comedian Colin Quinn performing, an evening of laughter and philanthropic camaraderie was assured. We are proud to announce the benefit raised over $1 million. The money raised will support Baby Buggy as we continue to grow and meet the needs of NYC families in need. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the event especially our sponsors, American Express, NetJets, and Johnson’s Soothing Naturals.

Head Start

In January of 2006, Baby Buggy will start the year off by joining forces with select Head Start programs throughout the city. Recognizing that supporting early education is a great way to make a long-term impact on families in need in New York City, Baby Buggy will work with Head Start programs in Hunts Point and Unionport in the Bronx, Jamaica and The Rockaways in Queens, and Coney Island in Brooklyn. The Citizen’s Committee for Children of New York reports that these programs are in some of the highest risk neighborhoods in New York.

Head Start offers educational programs for 3-5 year olds, and a wide range of opportunities and support services for their families. Since 1965 they have joined with millions of low-income families to help their children succeed in school. At Head Start children not only find a safe and caring environment for learning, they also receive delicious and nutritious meals that are served to them each day. And every Head Start program is absolutely free.

Baby Buggy will be collaborating with a wonderful group of Head Start educators in a joint effort to help families in need.

Crib Drive Party

Co-hosted by Founder, Jessica Seinfeld, and Chairman of Barneys New York, Howard Socol, the Crib Drive Launch Party was held on June 14th, 2005 at Barneys New York. The fully underwritten event raised funds for us to provide 500 cribs to families in need.


Project Update
Diaper Drive Party

On June 16, 2004, Baby Buggy founder and chair Jessica Seinfeld, along with board member Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, and co-chair Sarah Jessica Parker hosted a The Diaper Drive Launch Party sponsored by Balmex at V Steakhouse. With the success of the fundraiser, just six weeks after the launch of the drive, Baby Buggy raised enough money to buy more than 500,000 diapers.

Oh Baby! Benefit Part 2

Over 2,700 guests celebrated the work that Baby Buggy does for the children of New York City by attending a rare live performance by Jerry Seinfeld at City Center on November 12, 2003. Jon Stewart opened the show and Matt Lauer hosted this great evening of comedy. This event was generously supported by American Express, NetJets and Target. We are proud to announce that over one million dollars was raised to insure Baby Buggy’s future.

Jessica’s Breakfast Baby Shower
