Corporate Sponsorship
How your business can contribute
If you or your business are involved in the manufacture or sale of cloth nappies, covers, nappy rash treatments or other nappy accessories, we could really use your help. Please contact us via our guestbook, or email nicole(at)therapydogs(dot)org(dot)au
We will be seeking donations of new and seconds nappy related goods, as well as cash support. We would love to be able to tell the world how your products have helped women and babies in Russia.
If you are a small business, or a work at home mum making unique cloth nappies - you can help tremendously. If you are one of those makers whose nappies are fought over and disappear shortly after each stocking, the donation of even one special nappy could help us greatly by giving us a highly sought after item to auction to raise postage costs. So even though you may only be able to donate a small amount, it really could make a big difference to this cause.
Of course, any business or individual is encouraged to donate cash to help us raise our postage costs. Please consider how you can help the babies in need.
Courier Please!
YAY! We have finally managed to arrange freight for our interstate collections to Brisbane - through a wonderful offer of sponsorship with Australian Air Express!! These people are marvellous (and I didn’t have to twist their arm at all!!)
THANKS SO MUCH AAE!!
Businesses that have helped:
First donation cab off the rank is Sanbrook Brands, makers of Happy Baby products who have made a bulk donation of 144 Happy Baby Snappi Nappies!
These nifty little products grip on to terry towelling nappies and fasten the wings together instead of needing to use pins. They help the fabric to last longer and there’s the added bonus of no pin pricks for mum or baby! Apparently they are a favourite item for the Russian mothers to receive as presents from Australia. They will be well appreciated!
Thank you Happy Baby!!
If you are impressed by the generosity of this donation, please email Sanbrook Brands (baby@sanbrookbrands.com.au) and thank them for their involvement in this cause, and keep an eye out for their products in supermarkets and department stores.
Pea Pods pocket nappies have just announced that they are going to donate 100 brand new, small sized Pea Pods for the Russian babies! What fantastic news! Pea Pods are particularly great for this cause as the waterproof outer pockets can be dried in a matter of minutes and other materials such as rags and flat nappies used as inserts while the original inserts dry, so the Russian mums will get extra usage out of their Pea Pods pockets while their other nappies take longer to dry.Thank you Pea Pods! www.peapods.com.au
Baby Central, a fantastic place to buy (and sell) second hand and new baby goods in great condition, kindly donated 10 nappies and 15 nappy covers from their stock when I went in there. A big thank you goes out to them. I got a great deal on a highchair today, so if you’re in Brisbane, go check them out - 333 Gympie Rd, Strathpine - 3205 9199.
We have also had very generous offers of support from small businesses and work at home mums making funky modern cloth nappies. These generous ladies make great, popular nappies - so why don’t you check out their websites below? Disposable users would be amazed at how easy cloth can be with modern cloth.
Thank you to Baby Beehinds - we received a generous contribution of AIO’s and Covers! www.babybeehinds.com.au
Thank you to Itti Bitti for donating a heap of seconds, plus boosters, and a custom nappy for auction. Thanks also for the generous offer of a 50% discount on your snap in AIO’s if we need to purchase any more! (These are great nappies by the way - one has been donated and it dried in a jiffy when I pre-washed it! I’m going to buy some soon!!)www.ittibitti.com.au

The best thing about all this - is I have only had to actually ASK 3 of the above businesses for help (and all 3 practically jumped at the chance!) All of the other businesses here have contacted ME!! So thanks so much to them, but also to all you wonderful members of the public who have contacted other people and spread the word. It’s working!!!
