We are very proud to celebrate an incredibly special recognition received by one of our own, Samantha, who was recently honored with the JustServe “Heart of Service” Award!

JustServe selected Root for Kids from several organizations in recognition of the incredible impact our volunteers and team continue to make throughout the community, and so much of that heart and connection starts with Samantha.

Anyone who knows her knows this recognition could not be more deserved! She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone we know, and the passion, compassion, and care she pours into her work each day touches so many lives. She goes above and beyond for the families we serve, our volunteers, and our community, and we feel so lucky to have her as part of the Root for Kids team!

Samantha, thank you for the love and dedication you bring into everything you do! 🩷💚🩵

A heartfelt thank you to the Washington Area Chamber of Commerce for their generous donation towards our gala, the Southern Utah Ladies Society for presenting us with proceeds from the beautiful gala they hosted benefiting Root for Kids, and to Axiom Chiropractic for organizing a diaper drive and showing up with an incredible donation for our families!

We are beyond grateful for community partners who continue to show up, give back, and believe in the work we do.

May is National Nurses Month, and we’re celebrating the incredible women who help care for, support, educate, and encourage the families we serve every single day!

From caring for newborns and supporting healthy pregnancies to walking alongside parents through the earliest days of a baby’s life, these nurses make a lasting impact far beyond our walls.

THANK YOU to Tena, Stacie, Megan, and Jordane for the compassion, patience, knowledge, and love you pour into our community each and every day. We are so lucky to have a team of absolute rockstars! 🩷💚🩵

Our 2026 Secret Garden Gala was filled with so much joy, generosity, connection, and FUN! We were reminded once again just how incredible this community is. 🩷💚🩵

Because of your support, we can continue walking alongside local families and helping children receive the strong start they deserve. Every sponsorship, donation, raffle ticket, volunteer hour, and act of kindness made a difference.

Thank you to our amazing sponsors, volunteers, donors, emcee, jockeys, staff, and community partners who helped bring this special evening to life. We are so grateful for each of you!

And to everyone who joined us in your garden party glamour and Kentucky Derby best… you truly made the night feel magical! 💐🐎

Stay tuned as we share some of our favorite moments from the night this week.
