There's so much need."īaby Isa's new role as a Gerber baby is more than just looking cute. "I wouldn’t have asked for anything else other than that. "I think it’s amazing to know that the additional resource is going to be provided to babies and mothers," John told TODAY Parents. In addition to a $25,000 prize for baby Isa, Gerber is contributing a matching donation this year to support March of Dimes’ maternal and infant health programs, ensuring both parents and babies thrive.
Meredith said Isa's cash prize would be set aside for her medical care. "We are so happy that she can hopefully bring awareness to children born with limb differences and that is really special for us." "One of the things that has been so special for us, is that she was chosen for her wonderful personality, her smile, her cheeks, her giggles, but also as a baby who represents diversity," Meredith explained. More than 225,000 entries were submitted to Gerber for this year’s search, with the only requirement being that the baby be 0-48 months old and live in the 50 United States, D.C.
"We have not gotten a chance yet to give her a call, but we are anticipating she will be so excited," John said. The couple told TODAY Parents later Wednesday morning that Isa's big sister didn't know the exciting news yet. "Her older sister Tempy absolutely adores her," Meredith said of her daughters.
