For the Shamie family, the safety and well-being of babies is more than a business—it’s a calling passed down through generations. Since its founding in 1968 by Louis Shamie Sr., Delta Children has become synonymous with safety and innovation in the juvenile products industry. Today, the next generation, led by his sons Joe and Sam Shamie, is carrying forward the family’s enduring commitment to creating safer products and giving back to the community. “The safety of children has been at the heart of our work for over five decades,” shares Joe Shamie, President of Delta Children. “We’ve seen how combining education, resources, and advocacy can create lasting change, which is why we’re passionate about supporting JPMA Cares and giving back.” As Delta Children prepares to pass its mission to the third generation, the Shamie family remains focused on fostering a culture of compassion and responsibility inspired by Louis Shamie Sr.’s original vision. “You have to give when you can,” reflects Joe Shamie. “By working together, we can provide families with the tools they need to make safer choices for their babies.” This GivingTuesday, he offers a clear call to action: “We need others in the industry to join us. Every contribution—whether it’s donating products, funds, or spreading awareness—makes a difference. Together, we can create a safer world for every child.” With champions like the Shamie family leading the way, the vision of a safer tomorrow is within reach—one crib, one family, and one life at a time.

MT. LAUREL, N.J., Nov. 19, 2024 -- As the annual GivingTuesday celebration nears, JPMA Cares —the philanthropic arm of the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA)—aims to unleash the power of people and organizations to form a future where babies no longer die from preventable deaths. The nonprofit organization has a goal to raise $20,000 for its Safe Sleep Campaign by the end of GivingTuesday on December 3, 2024. In a testament to shared belief and unwavering commitment, three former chief staff executives of JPMA have pledged to match the donations three to one for a total potential match of $60,000. Collectively, they are calling this "The Power of Three" pledge. Their generosity exemplifies leadership rooted in compassion, and their hope is to inspire others to do the same. "We've made significant strides in baby safety over the years, yet challenges remain," shared Bill MacMillan, CAE, former JPMA Executive Director, and current JPMA Cares Board Member. "I believe in this mission, and contributing to ensure safe sleep for infants feels like the most meaningful way to give back."  Bob Waller, Jr., CAE, former Executive Director for JPMA, current President & CEO of Association Headquarters (JPMA's management company for the past 46 years), and current JPMA Cares Board Member, added, "I want our safe sleep efforts to reach even more families as we build toward greater impact. I'm also a father and soon-to-be grandfather and feel personally called to support this cause." "Safe sleep for infants is a pressing concern in our country," noted Mike Dwyer, CAE, former JPMA Executive Director, current Association Headquarters Chief Executive Relationship Officer, and current JPMA President. "Supporting families to ensure they have awareness of—and products for—safe sleep practices is critical." The support from MacMillan, Waller, and Dwyer demonstrates how belief in a mission can inspire actions that create lasting change and hope. This year, JPMA Cares has: Amplified safe sleep best practices to expectant and new parents through videos on hospital network television Provided crucial safety information cards to expectant parents and caregivers, promoting awareness and education to support safer choices Distributed baby products to families affected by recent natural disasters "In 2022 alone, about 3,700 babies died from sleep-related deaths in the U.S. With your donations helping us to achieve 'The Power of Three' pledge, JPMA Cares will be able to impact more families, in more communities, and save even more lives," said Lisa Trofe, CAE, who serves as the current Executive Director for JPMA and JPMA Cares.
