Indiegogo Celebrates Mother’s Day with Mom Campaigns

Indiegogo is dedicating our Twitter feed to moms this Sunday. Tweet or Instagram a picture of you and your mom with the hashtag #gogomom and look out for it on @indiegogo

Mother’s Day is an opportunity to sing the praises of the world’s often unsung heroes, to celebrate the women who have positively impacted our lives and done so without ever expecting anything in return. When you start trying to think about everything that goes into being a mom, it’s hard to believe that we only have one day a year dedicated to them — at Indiegogo, we’re more into the idea of Mother’s Year.

This Mother’s Day, we’d like to not only say THANK YOU to our own moms, but also to all those around the world who want nothing but the best for their children. Moms are all about empowering their children to succeed and make a difference, so we wanted to highlight some past and present Indiegogo campaigns that are all about empowering moms:

Lalabu – A Better Baby Carrier

Move over Baby Bjorn! This nursing top has a kangaroo pouch to safely carry your baby wherever you go! Supporting Lalabu also means you’ll be supporting exploited women in Atlanta and microfinance efforts for women in Africa.

The Flanik Family Infant Adoption

Taking My Parents to Burning Man: a Black Rock-umentary!
