Do you have a Beautiful Baby Photo?  Enter it in this cute fundraiser and help a deserving soldier receive a handicap home through the Homes For Our Troops nonprofit.  100% of this fundraiser will be donated and earmarked for 22 year-old Army Ranger Sean Pesce’s home being built in West Haven, CT.

This friendly competition is for all children (newborn – 4 years).  CHILD DOES NOT NEED TO LIVE IN NEWTOWN TO ENTER OR WIN.  Post a photo for a $10 donation to Homes for Our Troops and show your support for our Military.

Winning child and their family are featured in the Newtown Labor Day Parade riding in a convertible sent by Mercedes of Danbury, as the “Beautiful Baby Winner” and the winner and first runner-up each receive a Family Fun Prize Basket.  All Contestants and their families are invited to march in the Labor Day Parade as “Beautiful Babies Helping Heroes”.  Every contestant receives a stuffed animal from the Kohl’s Cares collection, a cupcake or giant cookie from the Doazio Sisters Bakery, a free 8 x 10 photo with no sitting fee from Penney’s Danbury Portrait Studio, a dental care hygiene kit from Dental Associates, and mom or dad get a week’s free gym membership from Club 24.  Almost $50 worth of goodies all for the $10 tax-deductible donation!

The Grand Prize Baskets are even more awesome!  The two top families will receive a fee family portrait session from two top professional photographers- Sandy Schill http://www.newbornphotography.com/SandraLynnPhotography and Michelle Babyak https://michellebabyakphotography.smugmug.com/Portfolio    Something their families will cherish for generations!
