The Stink Bug Project

"A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow" - Unknown
We see a lot of incredible fathers here at the Foundation, from those coming in to pick up milk for their newborn babies to those providing unwavering love and support to their children while they battle childhood health challenges. It is an honor to witness the power of a father's love in so many ways and today, we are celebrating that power. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there!

Meet Molly! In this week's , we're thrilled to introduce our newest team member: Molly Bankston. Molly works with our Stink Bug Project and Patient & Family Assistance programs and it has been a joy having her on the team!

❔ Why Rocky Mountain Children's Health Foundation?
The impact that this organization makes on families in the region is enormous. The mission spoke to me on many levels, and I just wanted to be part of this team and use my skills to help kids and families going through some really hard stuff. Though I have only been here a short time, I can say it’s the most meaningful job I have ever had.

❔ What's one of your goals for the year?
One of my goals is to connect with more area non-profits, businesses, and community groups to help us serve our families even more.

❔ When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be an actress and work in theater/film. It always has made me happy to entertain people. I have said for many years that if I couldn’t entertain people, I wanted to help them, and I finally get to do that at RMCHF.

❔ What has been your favorite moment of impact here?
In the short time I have been here, I have seen the impact we have on the community every day. But my favorite, so far, was with The Stink Bug Project, seeing a young girl meet her companion dog match. In the hour or so we were there, I witnessed her trepidation and fear melt away. It was such an uplifting experience.

❔ What's one thing you just can't stop listening to? (podcast or music)
I haven’t found any new podcasts lately, but I have been listening to Billy String’s album “Renewal” on repeat since last fall. Very excited to see them at Red Rocks in May!

Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️
