Some Mother's Day Fun

 BJ's Wholesale Club hosted its first-ever "BJ's Dad's Diaper Dash", a pregnancy challenge event designed to show dads-to-be just what expecting moms go through when pregnant and also to showcase how new parents can save money while stocking up on all of the baby products they need.

In honor of Mother's Day, five dads-to-be were given five minutes to complete a series of tasks that included shopping for baby-related products while enduring the rigors of daily pregnancy - including getting up from a bed and making it, bending down to pick up toys and painting their toenails.  The course was completed while daddy dashers wore 37-pound empathy bellies simulating the major symptoms of pregnancy including weight gain, bladder pressure, increased pulse and body temperature and lower backaches. Ryan's winning time clocked in at 3 minutes, 23 seconds, making him and Avin the first annual victors (Photo: Dad-to-be Kenneth Ryan looks pretty in pink racing to win the Dad's Diaper Dash at BJ's Wholesale Club).

BJ's also donated $2,500 to the What to Expect Foundation, which helps low-income, lower-literacy parents expect healthier pregnancies, safer deliveries and happier babies.   From the donation, 250 low-income moms-to-be will receive a "Baby Basics" book and program, created by Heidi Murkoff and Lisa Bernstein.

BJ's Wholesale Club offers everything from diapers and formula to baby clothes and car seats all at every day low prices.  For more information on BJ's go to www.bjs.com.
