2025 B.A.B.Y. Gala Recap

A Night to Remember: 2025 B.A.B.Y. Gala Recap

What an unforgettable evening!

We are still filled with gratitude and awe, reflecting on the 2025 B.A.B.Y. Gala. Surrounded by over 500 guests, 40 dedicated board members, and the generous support of 20+ sponsors, we came together to celebrate something truly powerful — community, compassion, and the courage of the children and families we serve.

Thanks to the heartfelt support from each of you, we raised an incredible $232,000 — every dollar of which goes directly toward helping underinsured families in Northern Colorado care for their children facing serious health challenges.

One of the most emotional moments of the night was honoring this year’s Wyatt Memorial Award recipient, Emmalyn. Emmalyn has undergone five rounds of chemotherapy, major surgeries, and two bone marrow transplants — all with a strength that inspires us beyond words. Her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. (You can read more about her story here https://www.thebabyfoundation.org/post/honoring-resilience-the-wyatt-memorial-award-emmalyn-s-story).

We were honored to recognize our Aliyah Volunteer Memorial Award winner, Vanessa Bouchard. Vanessa embodies everything this award stands for — joy, dedication, and a tireless spirit. Her behind-the-scenes work and love for our mission are what keep this Foundation moving forward. Thank you, Vanessa, for the light and energy you bring to our community.

To everyone who donated, attended, volunteered, sponsored, or simply cheered us on — thank you. Your kindness makes a real and lasting difference for families walking the hardest roads.
