Babies Gear Up for Second Annual Diaper Derby

The cutest babies on the move are invited to show off their newly discovered crawling skills and participate in Crystal Mall’s second annual Diaper Derby competition on Saturday, March 12, 2016

This free event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Old Navy Court. Crawlers under the age of 12 months who are NOT walking yet are eligible to compete in one of six heats, with the fastest crawlers moving on to the semi-finals and grand finale. An awards ceremony will be held to give out prizes for first-place, second-place and third-place participants. The competition is limited to the first 24 crawlers who pre-register at the mall management office, located near the Food Court.

Participants will be treated to complimentary refreshments, courtesy of Starbucks. For a $1 entry, shoppers can also enter-to-win a raffle with all proceeds going to Simon Youth Foundation, Simon’s own not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting at-risk youth.

“After the success of last year’s event, we are thrilled to, once again, host Diaper Derby at Crystal Mall,” commented Debbie Botelho, director of marketing and business development for Crystal Mall. “This spirited competition celebrates one of the most exciting, and life changing, milestones for babies so we are pleased to offer an opportunity for parents to enjoy it in a dynamic and fun environment.”
