Join us for a memorable morning of fun, fitness and feel-good vibes at our sixth annual Burpees4Babes in support of Edward Hospital Pediatric Unit, Lurie's Children's Hospital and Advocate Children's Hospital.

OUR IMPACT:

In just 2023 and 2024, we donated $20,000 worth of gifts, supported two hospitals, had 80+ moms in attendance and handed out over 75 raffle prizes from local businesses and community.

Will you join us in 2025 as we level up? We are hoping to make 2025 our biggest and best year yet by collecting $12,000 worth of gifts, adding Lurie's Children's Hospital to our benefactors and we are shooting for 100 attendees at the event!

WHEN: Saturday, December 13

TIME: Doors open at 8:30am; Workout begins at 9:00am

WHERE: Bethany Lutheran Church and School, Naperville

WHAT: Workout with a cause complete with raffle prizes from local businesses, swag bags, festive music, holiday attire, party favors, breakfast and coffee, a photo booth, lots of laughs, a few burpees and a BIG gift drive!

COST: Free with the donation of one unwrapped gift. Additional raffles can be earned with each additional donation. The more gifts = the more chances to win! You are also able to bring cash for raffle tickets which will go toward the purchase of gifts.

REGISTER HERE: Please note: No credits will be used for this event as attendance will not be officially taken. Therefore, we ask that you enroll to help us gauge breakfast, coffee, and party favor totals.

RAFFLES AND FUN: Stick around post workout as we announce raffles and enjoy some coffee and breakfast treats.

OUR MISSION: Burpees4Babes was started six years ago by owner of FIT4MOM Naperville, Lauren Pedecone, as a way to support other moms and families in the community during the holidays. It has grown tremendously over the course of the last few years thanks to all the support from the women and families of F4M Naperville.

The hope is to bring a smile to as many children as we can this holiday season and all year long. All gifts collected at this event will be donated to the children and their families staying at Edward-Elmhurst Hospital, Advocate Children's Hospital and Lurie's Children's Hospital.

In order to help the pediatric patients to feel more comfortable in the hospital setting, the Child Life Department provides each patient a gift. In addition, they also supply the playroom with toys and activities for the patients and their families. Due to contact restrictions, many of these toys that were once kept for multiple children must be sent home upon discharge. Our goal is to replenish the gifts for the pediatric unit which has seen an influx of patients this year.
