The Bailey Baio Angel Foundation^®, Stride Rite^® and BopStarBaby invite you to the very first Celebrity Baby Yard Sale

Celebrity Baby Yard Sale

to be held Saturday, May 30th from 8 AM – 4PM in the Garden at the Sportsmen’s Lodge Hotel 12825 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California Phone 800.821.8511/818.769.4700

There will be lots of wonderful new and almost-new children’s products - including clothing, accessories, toys, and home décor - all at excellent prices! This very special event is being produced by the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation^®, which was launched by Renee and Scott Baio to promote more extensive newborn screening throughout our nation. Proceeds will go toward sustaining children and families affected by life-threatening metabolic disorders (including GA1 and other organic acidemia).

The Baio Family: Renee', Bailey & Scott

The Baio’s daughter Bailey (whose initial GA1 diagnosis proved to be incorrect) inspired her parents to find a way to increase public awareness and create new legislation for mandated screening.

The Baio family’s relationship with sponsor BopStarBaby began with BopStarBaby’s BabyMakes3 basket sent to celebrate Bailey Deluca’s birth in November 2007. Renee and Scott were added to BopStarBaby’s list of all-time favorite celebrity parents the following year, and received a delightful Holiday Basket in December of 2008. When the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation was announced, BopStarBaby’s founder MaryLenore Arsenault offered to contribute in any way she could.

As a result, BopStarBaby is donating approximately $10,000 of luxurious baby products collected from its exclusive participants, including:

• BabyLegs^® (leggings),
• Bella B™ (skincare),
• Elegant Baby^® (clothing & accessories),
• Tickle Toes^® (hooded towels),
• New Native^® (baby carriers),
• No Slippy Hair Clippy^® (hair accessories), and
• Rashti & Rashti^® (blankets & travel buddy).

A fabulous BopStarBaby: BabyMakes3 Gift Basket created for a baby girl will also be raffled on the day of the sale. In addition to all the products listed above, it will include:

• Belle Pearl (jewelry),
• Bling Around the Rosie (apparel)
• Patricia Ann Designs (car seat cover/stroller blanket/travel silkies, bib/burp cloth),
• Kurly Girlz (apparel & specialty item),
• Piggy Paint™ (non-toxic nail polish),
• Pedoodles^® (shoes), and
• The Dropper Stopper^® (specialty item).

Additional BopStarBaby donations include items from: Beba Bean Designs (specialty items & clothing), BellySock™ (pregnancy aid), Brainy Baby^®(educational products), Fleurville™ (diaper bags), FuzziBunz™ (cloth diapers), JOIA Mommy Cover (nursing covers), Light of Mine Designs (keepsake ornaments), The Mozart Effect^® (educational products), MyPacifier™ (personalized pacifiers), Simply FaBOWlous^® (nursery items), SkipHop (diaper bags), and Tummy T’s™ (maternity apparel).

“I’m so impressed with what Renee and Scott are doing,” MaryLenore confides, “Once they got the news that Bailey was going to be OK, they could have just said thanks and moved on with their lives, but they didn’t. They haven’t forgotten all those children and their families who do have to cope with these disorders. Now that they’re aware of this problem, they’re truly committed to doing something about it.”
Stride Rite^®, America’s leading brand of children’s footwear, has contributed over 400 pairs of shoes. It’s a gesture that exemplifies the philosophy of the 85-year-old company: “helping children to embrace life’s possibilities with confidence.” The other generous sponsors of the first Celebrity Baby Yard Sale are:

Our Celebrity Baby Yard Sale will be raising money to take care of some of their basic needs. If you come shop with us, you’ll truly be an angel to an angel in need!”
