NEENAH, Wis., Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro dad and
football legend, Kam Chancellor,
and Huggies Plus, a line of diapers exclusively available
at Costco, will donate $10,000 to the
National Diaper Bank Network to help families in the Northwest U.S.
region* have access to clean diapers.
One in three American families experience diaper
need1, which is the lack of a sufficient supply of
diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. Diaper
need is a public health issue that can result from poverty,
unexpected life hardships, natural disasters, and so much more.
"We are thrilled to have Kam
Chancellor on board to help us raise awareness of diaper
need – something more American families than ever have had to
experience especially over the last 18 months," said Robert Raines, Vice President of Huggies North
America. "Together with Kam's support, we'll be able to provide
nearly 40,000 diapers to 5,000 Northwest U.S. families struggling
to provide clean diapers for their babies."
To further spread awareness for diaper need, Chancellor will
take to Instagram to show fellow parents how he rolls when changing
a diaper. While he's not on the field celebrating team touchdowns
anymore, this September and October Chancellor will challenge
families to get down during their diaper change! He, and three
other regional pro-dads, including Mike
Conley, Cliff Avril and
Quandre Diggs, will show their best
post-diaper changing dance, asking families to share a video of
their own at-home diaper dance moves post-change tagging @Huggies
on Instagram and using hashtags #DiaperDance, #HuggiesPlus,
#HelpingHugs and #EndDiaperNeed.
"Being a dad is so much fun and I'm excited to be able to use my
platform to bring more awareness to diaper need," said Kam Chancellor, former pro-football player and
father of one. "It's an honor to be able to support the community
where I live and played for more than a decade and help families in
need of clean diapers."
Huggies is proud to be a founding sponsor of the National Diaper
Bank Network, which has 225+ member diaper banks across the
country. Since 2011, Huggies has donated more than 300 million
diapers to the National Diaper Bank Network to help families across
