Our mission is to provide financial assistance to medically under-insured families in
Northern Colorado who have children with various health-related challenges.

Our History
|
|
The B.A.B.Y. Foundation was formed in the spring in 2003 under the leadership of
Dr. Michelle Soriano, a local obstetrician, and her husband, Kevin Kirchmar. An
employee in Dr. Soriano's office had a child with a disability, and, although they
had health insurance, their medical bills were astounding. Dr. Soriano recognized
that there was a gap in resources available for such families in our community.
As a result, she and her husband founded The B.A.B.Y. Foundation to provide assistance
and help fill those gaps.

Our Impact
|
|
Through fundraising events such as pancake breakfasts, golf tournaments, hoe-downs,
and Christmas tree auctions, we've provided thousands of dollars of assistance to
dozens of Northern Colorado families in need. Assistance has not only been provided
to reduce medical bills, but also to offset other burdensome expenses such as mortgage
payments and fuel costs.

|
Our Vision
|
|
We've only scratched the surface of providing assistance to our community. Health
care costs continue to climb. As a result, we will double and redouble our efforts
to help those in need. However, we can't do this alone.

Message from President
The high cost of medical care continues to cripple many families financially. Our
hope is to help as many of those families as we can, but we need your support. Participation
and donations at our events are the primary source of our funding.
Please consider attending one of our upcoming fundraisers and spread the word! Mark
your calendars! Our families need your help!!!
