Our Story

The Beginning

In 2023, I connected with the Ronald McDonald House through a tour and later joined as a volunteer and Board member. Not long after, my son Jack faced recurring fevers that led to months of tests and frightening conversations about possible diagnoses. Though he is now doing well, we were reminded how quickly a family can find themselves in need of hospital care, often far away from home. Jack’s journey inspired us to create Jack’s Art Show as a way to give back.

In 2024 one kid’s art was able to raise $1,500.

The Kid's Heart Show

In 2025 Jack’s Art Show became the Kid's Heart Show.

This iteration was bigger, broader reaching, and nearly 3x more impactful.

The show featured 6 local artists between the ages of 5 and 10. They collectively donated over 70 pieces of their creativity, which were displayed at an open gallery in the beautiful Bent Oaks Manor. After the gallery, a lively auction was held (by a professional auctioneer!) for the artist's most prized pieces.

The 2025 Kid's Heart Show was able to raise $4,000 - enough to purchase a 'Love a Room' Sponsorship for the RMHC
