In 2020, Morgan Adams was diagnosed with Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) after years of searching for answers. In 2019, following significant efforts to improve her eating and weight gain, she was diagnosed with failure to thrive and required an NG tube. Morgan and her mother, Emily, relocated to Columbus for her to participate in an intensive feeding therapy program at Nationwide Children's Hospital, which marked the beginning of her recovery.

Since their time in Columbus, Emily has become involved with Feeding Matters and now serves on their Board of Directors. This non-profit organization is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting families facing the challenges of PFD and ARFID. Emily is passionate about educating pediatric professionals about early childhood feeding struggles, hoping to help other families find early intervention and avoid the difficulties and heartaches the Adams experienced.

Feeding Matters is the leading organization uniting families, healthcare professionals, and the community to improve the care system for children with PFD through advocacy, education, support, and research. Their mission is to create a better world for children with PFD.

Join us this May at Woodlands Backyard for a family-friendly evening celebrating Morgan's progress and learning more about childhood feeding disorders. We'll be raising funds for Feeding Matters and their 2025 initiatives. Woodlands Backyard will be our host, providing a great space with delicious food from Blackbird Burrito Company, drinks, and entertainment. SuperGames will be bringing the fun with interactive games and activities for kids and families. And Columbus Photo Booth Co. will delight the kids with creative face painting and whimsical balloon art.

There will be silent auction items to bid on throughout the night and a 50/50 raffle!

It's a night for the whole family to enjoy while supporting a great cause! Hope to see you there!

Thank you to this year's sponsors:
