You are not alone 🤍 We never forget September 16th, 2014 began as an ordinary day for our families. We are just two mothers who were working together for school pick-ups and drop-offs of our two young sons. It was their third day of preschool, the sun was shining and the air was just beginning to feel crisp for fall. We were working to get the boys loaded in the car when little 17 month old Rowyn

climbed backwards down the front porch steps in her baby blue pajamas to come see us. Her big brother did not want to go to school that day and he was crying. Having known one another for quite some time and our kids being in daycare together, we decided to just shut the car door and go anyway, knowing his tears would be short lived. We waved one last time, and the car slowly pulled forward. Somehow in a matter of seconds Rowyn was not where we thought she was. Paramedics say that Rowyn was killed instantly, and despite our desperate attempts to save her life there was nothing we could have done. The tragedy of September 16th has left holes and emptiness in many hearts. There is nothing we can do to rewind the day, but we hope to honor her memory with Raise for Rowyn. The goal is to host many fundraising events throughout the year. Any support you are able to give is appreciated. You can make a Donation on our website any time! If you have any further questions regarding our foundation, Rowyn’s story, or how you can help please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

What an incredible day at the Raise for Rowyn 2026 Golf Tournament! ⛳️☁️

We may have had a little rain, plenty of clouds, and temperatures that kept us reaching for an extra layer, but that didn't stop this incredible community from showing up with purpose.

To every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter, thank you. Your commitment to Raise for Rowyn means so much more than a day on the golf course. Because of you, we can continue supporting the families we serve and ensuring they know they are not walking their journey alone.

A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, West Coast Plumbing, Plumps, & Filtration for helping make this event possible and for investing in our mission.

Our Hole in One was sponsored by Olympia Jeep -
They showed up with an amazing vehicle!

Friday’s success wasn't measured by the weather or the scorecards; it was measured by the people who showed up for our families. Thank you for believing in our mission, standing beside our families, and helping us create hope, connection, and support when it's needed most.

Now it's time for the photo dump! 📸

Tag your friends if you see them, share your favorite memories from the day, and help us celebrate a community that showed up, rain clouds and all.

May we honor and remember a sweet boy whose life, no matter how brief, was deeply loved and will never be forgotten. 🤍

“He was our second baby who was born with health issues, while our first baby was born healthy. He was born with one lung, scoliosis, and an infused lower spine. After birth, he later developed additional health complications. He was 5 days old when he passed.”

Although his time here was brief, his life mattered deeply and continues to be remembered with love.

Today, we hold space for his family’s love, grief, and courage as they share his story. 🤍
