Thank YOU for Making World Breastfeeding Week 2017 a Success!
We received such a thoughtful outpouring of gratitude from our breastfeeding support organization partners during our World Breastfeeding Week 2017 event. We just HAD to share the impact that breastfeeding support – from kind and knowledgeable lactation consultants, warm and friendly fellow breastfeeding moms, or a comfortable and easy-to-use nursing bra – can have on new moms. Thank YOU to everyone who participated in our program. We salute each of your for the support and dedication you have for breastfeeding!
Hello,
On behalf of the KANA WIC Program in Kodiak, Alaska, I would like to thank you for your generous donation. It brought tears to my eyes to see the number of nursing bras and covers were sent to our WIC agency for our pregnant and breastfeeding WIC mothers. Your donations help make our World Breastfeeding Week Party a huge success. The KANA WIC Program serves families in need both in the town of Kodiak and the 6 villages on the island of Kodiak. Because of your donation, every pregnant and breastfeeding WIC mother on Kodiak Island is able to have a new nursing bra. Thanks again.
Stephanie Jenkins, MS, RD, IBCLC
WIC Coordinator, KANA WIC in Kodiak, AK

Dear Leading Lady:
I wanted to write and say thank you to your company for providing these bras for our mothers. They have made our World Breastfeeding Week/Month even sweeter. In the 18 years I have worked with Aurora WIC as a Breastfeeding Coordinator I have seen many needs for bra’s and wished we could have helped in some way but did not have the budget to do so. What a joy for me and staff to be able to offer these to moms. What makes it even more special is that I will be leaving my position here just this week to work in another hospital continuing to help mom’s breastfeed and it was a wonderful thing to be able have these for moms in my last days here. So thank you!

We did give out the nursing/sports bras at our annual breastfeeding celebration. We gave out to nursing moms the whole month of August. We also recognized Leading Lady every time a bra was given and we gave out the cards you sent to us. We also brought a basket with some bras to our hospital (St. Tammany Parish Hospital New Family Center) and the lactation consultants gave to nursing moms. We also brought ‘Go for the Gold’ balloons.
Moms were very excited to receive the bras, they had fun picking the one that was just right for them. Many moms commented on the good quality of the bras and how they would not be able to afford the bra.
We promoted on socilamedia and Facebook. We also went to every OB office in Covingonton and distributed flyers for our breastfeeding celebration.
It was a great experience for our staff also to take part in something so rewarding and to share in the WIC partipants excitement.
Thank you for your donation, it touched all of us.

Dear Leading Lady & Loving Moments,
It is with our greatest pleasure that we want to thank you on behalf of the clients we were able to surprise with a new wonderful nursing bra, or a nursing top, or a scarf. The “First 28 days” postcards and the coupons were a nice addition, too. Your company saved our breastfeeding celebration, as our office did not have a budget to expend for the occasion.
We were able to provide a nursing item to all our exclusive and almost exclusive breastfeeding clients though the month of August 2017. Our clients were grateful for their gifts, and for the continue support they received from our program.
We gathered six pictures of mothers holding their gifts. We hope this will make you proud of the amazing work you do for all the families you help.
Have a blessed and joyful day!
