Adena Women's Health and Pediatrics baby photo contest

Adena Health’s annual Baby Photo Contest celebrates the youngest members of our community, while supporting a great cause.

All funds raised through this contest go directly to The Pioneer Center, a school operated by the Ross County Board of Developmental Disabilities. The center works with children and young adults with developmental disabilities, offering classroom learning, life and job skills, and on-site therapy and nursing care, all in partnership with local schools.

Over the past 20+ years, the contest has raised more than $30,000 to support the center’s programs. Donations have helped fund a walking track, accessible playground, home training room, adaptive seating, and physical therapy tools for students.
