SUPER CRAWL BABY COMPETITORS 2024

The 2024 BEN FM Super Crawl Baby Competitors are ready. They've spent their entire lives (at least 7 months) preparing for this moment, crawling laps around the living room for practice. They're chugging milk and lifting rattles with older siblings coaching from the sidelines. Proud parents are ready to cheer their little cherubs on and do whatever it takes to see those chubby little legs across into the end zone.

Witness the drama of the BEN FM Super Crawl 2024 baby crawling competition live THIS SUNDAY, February 4th at noon at Love City Brewing. Watch as sixteen babies (so far) crawl in from all over the Delaware Valley to put all that tummy time to use. Join us. The event is free, with a suggested donation of a pack of diapers, to be donated to the Sunday Love Project's Greater Goods store. The Greater Goods Store provides free food to the community in the heart of Kensington in Philadelphia. The store serves hundreds of people (including children) every week. They even have a small kids section complete with grocery carts for the kids to pick out healthy food options for themselves. They're amazing. Please check out their website for more information or to make a monetary donation.
