2024 Rocket Ball Recap

On March 2nd we gathered at Union Station to celebrate another year of creating a Blueprint for Hope for children and families. We are grateful for everyone who helped us raise more than $575,000 (and counting) to lead families on a path of hope and healing. It was heartwarming to see the collective support of our community, which lit up the ballroom with hope for biological, foster, and adoptive families.


FamilyForward awarded TriZetto Provider Solutions with the 2024 Herman T. and Phenie R. Pott Child Advocacy Award. This award is presented annually to an individual or group that exemplifies the spirit of the Pott family's commitment to helping children. For nearly two decades, Trizetto has been a dedicated supporter, contributing their time, resources and expertise to our organization. We thank TriZetto Provider Solutions for their unwavering dedication to help raise awareness and support for FamilyForward!
