Breastfeeding Champion Awards
COBA kicks off its 25th anniversary in 2025 with a new Breastfeeding Champions Award Program which celebrates individuals and organizations that go above and beyond to empower breastfeeding mothers and their families. We will honor extraordinary recipients with the Public Space Award and Legislator Award.
The Public Space Award recognizes a public space that has demonstrated exceptional commitment to creating a welcoming, accessible and supportive environment for breastfeeding mothers.
The Legislator Award honors a legislator who has championed breastfeeding-friendly policies, advanced public health initiatives, and inspired change through advocacy and legislative work.
Through these awards, COBA aims to shine a spotlight on those who lead the charge in removing barriers to ensure that every family has the support they need on their breastfeeding journey.
Nominate a public space or legislator TODAY! Nomination forms are due by February 14, 2025 with the awards presented at the state capital during our annual Bagels for Breastfeeding event, March 13.
