Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Indiana Diaper Bank ask fans to donate for families in need

Submitted

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Pacers Sports & Entertainment and Indiana Diaper Bank have teamed up for the third year, with an urgent call for fans to donate diapers.

The Indiana Diaper Bank is a nonprofit focused on eliminating diaper needs in Indiana by supplying reliable diaper essentials and raising awareness. For those who could not attend the first preseason home game on Wednesday, donations can be made now through May 6 at GiveButter.com/PSEDiaperDrive2026.

“Last year, with the help of our fans and partners, we were able to donate over 35,000 diapers and wipes to our community,” Pacers Sports & Entertainment SVP of External Relations Tracy Ellis-Ward said. “We’re excited to bring this initiative back for a third season with the Indiana Diaper Bank and continue showing up for the families and their little ones across our state who need it most.”

“Indiana Diaper Bank is thrilled to tip off our third year of the diaper drive with Pacers Sports & Entertainment, continuing our commitment to support the one in two infants and toddlers in Indiana experiencing diaper need,” Indiana Diaper Bank President and CEO Ashley Burns said. “This effort is about more than diapers; it’s about dignity, health and giving families the resources they need to thrive. Together we can eliminate diaper need for our neighbors.”

On Wednesday, May 6, Pacers Sports & Entertainment staff, various community groups and PS&E Ambassador Tamika Catchings will bundle diapers before the Indiana Diaper Bank donates the items to community partners like food pantries, day care and foster care programs, and local shelters.
