I first met Judy Bannon in 2003 when she gave a Grand Rounds  at York Hospital in Pennsylvania.  Her  lecture was simply incredible.  Her  passion about infant sleep safety led our department of pediatrics to look into  starting a Cribs for Kids chapter in York.   Judy and her staff made themselves available to assist us with each step  of the way in starting up our chapter.
Having never run a charity or so much as written a funding grant, I  needed all the help I could get.  Judy supplied  us with all the forms we would need to get started.  She even provided us with a sample grant that  was invaluable in getting us our first $3000 to purchase Pack ‘N Plays.

Her staff is amazing as well.  The delivery of materials is smooth and reliable.  Judy has been very flexible in helping us  maintain our 501c3 status.  I just can’t  say enough great things about this organization!  And it amazes me to see how it has grown into
the premier organization for providing Pack ‘N Plays for families in need  across the country.  Here alone in York  we have helped over 1500 families in the past 7 years.  Nationally, I believe the number is over a  million.  That’s an awful lot of families sleeping easier, knowing that their babies have a safe place to sleep.  So why don’t you join us?  With over 4500 sudden and unexpected infant  deaths still occurring in the US every year, the need is out there.  You can be part of the solution!
