BALTIMORE & NEW HAVEN, Conn. –
Sinclair, Inc. announced today that it will partner with the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) to launch Sinclair Cares: Summer Diaper Drive, a nationwide campaign to create awareness, provide assistance, and build a community to reduce diaper need in the US. The campaign will begin on July 10 and run through August 6.

The National Diaper Bank Network leads a movement dedicated to helping individuals, children and families access basic necessities to reach their full potential, including clean, dry diapers and wipes. Currently, there are no Federal Government programs that provide targeted funding for families in need to buy diapers. NDBN seeks to bridge this gap for families.

The Sinclair Cares: Summer Diaper Drive campaign will be supported through public service campaigns across Sinclair television stations.

The National Desk (TND) and Sinclair’s local content centers, in partnership with the NDBN will be producing content to air within stations’ newscasts, while helping to connect viewers with local NDBN affiliates for resources and information.

Sinclair will also produce a Town Hall special to raise awareness around the campaign. The 30-minute special will air on Sinclair’s television stations on July 29 and 30 and the stations will also stream a 60-minute version of the special on their websites.

The Sinclair Cares: Summer Diaper Drive campaign will also be supported by a $25,000 donation from Sinclair.

“A recent study conducted by NDBN found that nearly half of American families struggle to afford diapers. Our goal with this campaign is to raise awareness and encourage donations and volunteers so that all babies and toddlers have access to clean diapers,” said Rob Weisbord, Sinclair’s Chief Operating Officer and President of Broadcast.

“Diaper need is a public health issue that impacts every community in the United States,” said Joanne Samuel Goldblum, CEO and founder, National Diaper Bank Network. “We are thrilled that Sinclair is leveraging its national voice and reach to draw attention to our work and that of our member diaper banks, all of which require local support and funding to remain reliable resources for the children and families they serve.”
