In January of 2025 a team of 9 people including myself decided to become a nonprofit organization to help family's who have lost a child to sids. In 2018 my best friend went threw the tragedy of losing her daughter at 18 days old to sid's. After seeing the support and absolute hurt from the loss. We started putting on horse gaming shows once a year to raise money to donate to Raise for Rowen to help family's after a childs loss of a child. In 2025 we became an official nonprofit organization. We have officially helped our first family in April 2026 who lost their child. our goal is to show compassion and support threw the hard times and help in any way we can financially to make the transition of the loss smoother and not as hard.
