Giannis Antetokounmpo and Huggies Partner to Donate $100,000 in Diapers to Milwaukee Diaper Mission
Milwaukee, WI — January 22, 2026 — Global basketball icon Giannis Antetokounmpo is teaming up with Huggies® to bring comfort and care to families across Milwaukee. Together, they are donating
The partnership was announced with a heartfelt video featuring Giannis and his daughter Eva, celebrating the joy of parenthood while shining a light on families who struggle to afford diapers.
“As a father, I know how much love and care goes into raising a child — and how something as simple as clean diapers can make a huge difference for families,” said Giannis Antetokounmpo. “I’m grateful to partner with Huggies and support the incredible work Milwaukee Diaper Mission is doing for our community.”
The Antetokounmpo family has long been committed to lifting up Milwaukee families through the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation (CAFF). Giannis’ wife, Mariah Antetokounmpo, has played a pivotal role in deepening that connection as the Director of Strategic Initiatives at CAFF and co-founder of The BIG Give Back initiative alongside MDM — an annual community fundraiser that has supplied thousands of families with diapers, wipes, and other essentials.
“This gift builds on a beautiful partnership that Mariah and Milwaukee Diaper Mission started years ago,” said Lauren Cochlin, Executive Director of CAFF. “From The BIG Give Back to today’s partnership with Huggies, the Antetokounmpos continue to put families first, and at CAFF, we’re proud to help carry that forward.”
For Milwaukee Diaper Mission, this donation is both timely and transformative. “Diaper need is a reality for 1 in 2 U.S. families,” said Meagan Johnson, Executive Director of MDM. “At Milwaukee Diaper Mission, we work every day to fill that gap and give families one less thing to worry about. At a time when the need in our community is steadily rising, this gift will provide two months of support to the thousands of caregivers and children we serve, ensuring they will stay clean, dry, and healthy.”
