Growing Our Roots We are dedicated to uplifting & inspiring our underserved youth to live healthy and successful lives

Hi everyone,

We wanted to share an update on one of our most anticipated events at Growing Our Roots.

Our Annual Youth Wellness Day is something we look forward to every year, and we know our supporters and participants do too. Each year it continues to grow bigger and better, and we are incredibly grateful for the love, support, and community that make this event, and our mission, possible.

This year, both of our directors are welcoming new life into the world! With the timing and the care required to make Youth Wellness Day the meaningful event it deserves, we’ve made the thoughtful decision not to host Youth Wellness Day in 2026. This time will allow us to be fully present with our families as we welcome our newest additions, rest, and recover.

We’re excited to share that our Annual Youth Wellness Day will return in 2027 refreshed, reenergized, and bigger and better than ever!

All of our other annual events will continue as planned this year, including our Halloween Costume Giveaway and Winter Essentials Giveaway, so be sure to stay tuned for more details as those approach.

Thank you so much for your continued support, understanding, and encouragement as we take this much-needed time. We are so grateful to be part of such a supportive community.

With gratitude,
Growing Our Roots

Bee embodies what it truly means to be a community leader. They have opened their heart and their time to the young people in their neighborhood—creating a safe space, investing resources, and guiding children toward a brighter future. Our kids need more leaders like Bee, people who genuinely care about the wellbeing of youth in underserved communities.

But this work can’t continue without the support of others. Are you one of those leaders?

Consider supporting the children of the Seton Hill neighborhood by donating your time or resources. Every person who steps forward to uplift our youth helps ensure that the next generation faces fewer challenges than the last. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

Donations can be made to Bee personally at:

Hello everyone!

This year, our Winter Essentials Giveaway will look a little different.

We’ve posted our current inventory of winter essentials, please check the photos and captions for available sizes. If you or someone you know is in need of winter gear, feel free to send us a DM to arrange either a drop-off or pick-up.

During our in-person giveaways, we limit items to one of each per person attending. This helps us make sure we support as many people as possible. Since we’re moving things online this year, we’ll require a quick photo for verification if you’re requesting items for more than one person.

We also encourage everyone in our community who is able to give—whether to a friend, family member, or even a stranger—to do so. Every act of kindness helps.

Let’s work together to keep our community warm this winter!

And just like that, we will see you next year!

We want to firstly thank all of our repeat participants for attending our event every year, and thank you to the new faces who joined us this year!

As expected, this was our biggest event yet. We are fulfilled by the opportunity to have fun with the future leaders of our community!

A huge thank you to Everest World Class TaekwonDo for donating their time in an amazing demonstration, and giving our participants a chance to break their own boards!!

We are extremely grateful for our ongoing relationship with CARES Community Inc. and Angelique. We couldn’t even begin to measure how deep of an impact you have had on Growing our Roots.

This year we welcomed a couple new vendors to help spread the great impact they are already having within the community, please be sure to check them out!Project Safe SpacecWillPower Unleasheded
