National Babies Day

It’s National Babies Day - Go Ga-Ga Australia

FRIDAY 17 OCTOBER

Go Ga-Ga is a celebratory idea which runs over an 8 week period and culminates in October with ‘National Babies Day’.

Traditionally, this has been Bonnie Babes biggest and most important fund raising event. The Go Ga-Ga campaign theme has featured many people, from all walks of life, some famous and some not, all with a dummy in their mouths.

The campaign encourages the general public to Go Ga-Ga by purchasing from a range of low priced items, some useful, some novel, some just plain cuddly, all found in specially marked merchandising units at every Target store, during September and October.

By purchasing any of these items, you can help the Foundation secure state-of-the-art medical equipment for many ‘premmy’ hospital wards around the country.

If you would like more information about how you or your company can support or donate to this promotion please contact enquiry@bbf.org.au

Visit the Bonnie Babes Foundation website for all the details
