New Year, New Impact: What’s Ahead in 2026

As we step into a brand-new year, we’re filled with hope—and so much gratitude for the community that makes Better2gether’s mission possible. Because of your belief in local children with medical complexity, we are entering 2026 ready to grow, evolve, and deepen our impact in meaningful ways.

3 Things You’ll See From Us in 2026

1. Whole-Family Support—Stronger Than Ever

This year, we’re expanding our personalized Family Navigation program to ensure families feel supported at every turn. You’ll also see increased offerings aimed at the unique needs of the whole family—our new Sibling Program, enhanced debuting a Dad Program, more Warrior Wednesday features, and dedicated Caregiver Retreats designed to nurture the emotional and mental well-being of caregivers. Our goal is simple: to walk beside families in the moments that matter most.

2. More Ways to Make a Difference

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Better2gether, and in 2026 we’re introducing expanded, more interactive volunteer opportunities. Whether assembling Better Bags, supporting events, or applying specific skills to help behind the scenes, we’re creating meaningful ways for community members to get involved and see the impact of their contributions firsthand.

3. Stronger Community Partnerships

Collaboration fuels progress. This year, we’re focused on strengthening relationships with hospitals, local businesses, nonprofits, and service partners to expand our reach and ensure families have broader access to vital supports. Together, we can make resources more connected, more accessible, and more compassionate.

A Heartfelt Thank You

As we look ahead, we must also look back—with deep appreciation. Because of you, we closed 2025 with powerful momentum:

• M4K Richmond growers lifted our mission in incredible ways.

• Year-End Giving helped us finish the year strong and prepare for the expanded services launching now.

• Our Family Holiday Party brought joy, gifts, food, and unforgettable memories to families who needed a moment of magic.

Your generosity truly lit the way.

Your Impact Is Real—and Growing

Every program we expand, every family we lift up, and every new partnership we build is possible because of donors, volunteers, and community partners like you. We’re excited to share even more of your impact in our upcoming 2025 Impact Report, where you’ll see the full picture of how your support is changing lives.

Here’s to a year of compassion, growth, and walking beside families—together.
