Event at Moon will Support Nevada’s Only Consistent Diaper Bank Resource and Programs to Give Nevada Babies and Their Families a Good Start
Baby’s Bounty, Nevada’s only consistent diaper bank resource and one of Las Vegas’s most impactful nonprofits, will hold its annual fundraising gala on October 14th at 6PM. Set at Moon, at Palms Casino Resort, the event will support ongoing programs to improve health outcomes for children across the state and is presented by Aristocrat Gaming.
“Looking back on our journey at Baby’s Bounty, we take immense pride in the positive impact we’ve had on families and infants in our community,” shares Kelly Maxwell, Baby’s Bounty CEO and Executive Director. “With the distribution of over 3 million diapers and 6 million wipes to nearly 40,000 families throughout Nevada, our contribution to the community has been remarkable. However, the path forward reminds us of the critical need for continued community support.”

About Baby’s Bounty:
Founded in 2008, Baby’s Bounty is a local Las Vegas-based non-profit that supports and empowers at-risk families by providing education and essential tools to ensure a good start for every baby.
Beginning as a way to provide necessary resources for Southern Nevadan families in need, they first launched the “Baby Bundle” program, in which they provide items like car seats, cribs, clothing, and toiletries in addition to an educational course on newborn safety.
In May of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Baby’s Bounty launched their first-ever Baby’s Bounty Diaper Bank in Las Vegas and has since expanded with a Diaper Bank in North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno/Sparks as well as Mobile Diaper Banks throughout rural Clark County.
Since the first diaper bank, Baby’s Bounty has helped nearly 40,000 families and distributed nearly 3 million diapers and 6 million wipes.
