Baby Grand Sponsorship Opportunities

Baby Grand, presented by Woman's Hospital, invites expectant parents to the biggest and best baby fair in the area. The semi-annual event offers a collection of activities for expectant families, including meeting with exhibitors, tours of Woman's Hospital, meeting with pediatricians and attending a variety of workshops.

Each year, more than 1,200 expectant families attend this big event. Here's a sampling of comments made by exhibitors who have participated over the years:

"We use Baby Grand as a major source of advertising. It is a great way to reach our target audience and gives us the opportunity to pass out our catalogs and speak about our products. Where else can you meet with 500-600 expectant women and their mothers at one time!"
- Melinda Barrios

"Baby Grand is the perfect opportunity to get visibility for our store. We want to be seen as the Baby Expert. I have done my research and Woman's Hospital is the largest birthing facility in Baton Rouge and this is the largest baby event in Baton Rouge and therefore we want to make sure that we are a part of it. It is a great way to see upwards of 600 expectant parents each time and the best way to get our information out."
