September 27, 2016
It’s a flop to be proud of. #bellyflopforbabies is the social media campaign that had everybody from doctors to kids to the family dog diving, belly first, into water and posting the videos online to raise awareness and funds for High Risk Hope, a nonprofit that focuses on expectant mothers dealing with high risk pregnancies and premature birth. For the upcoming Giving Challenge, High Risk Hope is hosting family friendly event Storytime and Sweets at Bayfront Park on Wednesday at 10 a.m. The Giving Tree will be read aloud to highlight the value of giving and the power to make a change.

Why People Everywhere Are Doing ‘Belly Flops for Babies’
July 20, 2016
People across the country are posting videos of themselves belly-flopping into water in a trend that is about more than summertime fun. The videos, posted with the #BellyFlopforBabies hashtag, are for a good cause -- supporting both pregnant women who are placed on bed rest with high-risk pregnancies and families who have premature babies in neonatal intensive care units. The viral challenge was started in June by High Risk Hope, a Tampa, Fla.-based non-profit organization that delivers toiletries and comfort items such as blankets to hospitals' maternity wards. The organization was started in 2011 by Heather Barrow after she spent months hospitalized on bed rest before the birth of her son Hill, now a healthy 7-year-old who took the #BellyFlopforBabies challenge himself.
