Will you join us in 2024 as we level up? We are hoping to make 2024 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!

OUR MISSION: Burpees4Babes was started five 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 and Advocate 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.
