April "Committee Showcase" was a great start, but we are still looking for members to join the committees for our key events. If you missed the “showcase”, check out these videos of a few of the committees we are most in need of building on right now, including the Pancake Breakfast and the Holiday Bazaar Raffle.

Spring is here, and so is one of the Wood River Valley’s favorite shopping traditions! 🌸🌱

Join us for the annual Plant Extravaganza at Webb Garden Center in Ketchum and Bellevue — happening the first Saturday in June! Since 1994, local gardeners have come together to shop vibrant flowers, veggie starts, shrubs, and unique garden treasures to kick off the season and support 5B Kids Fund.

While you shop, members of the 5B Kids Fund will be on hand helping customers load purchases and keep the day running smoothly. It’s a fun community event filled with inspiration, fresh blooms, and everything you need to get growing this season. 🌼🪴

We can’t wait to see you there!

Another successful Kindercup was held this past weekend at Dollar Mountain. 200 skiers and snowboarders participated in this fun and free event hosted by 5B Kids Fund and Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Event chair Maureen Puddicombe shared that she loves how much fun all the kids have and that they always cheer for every single one of their fellow racers at the awards ceremony. "They support each other so much, and it's just great to see."

Long-time members, alongside many new faces, of 5B Kids Fund (formerly Papoose Club) came together to celebrate a new name and all that has been accomplished in the club’s long history. 5B Kids Fund president Kat Vanden Heuvel shared that in 2025 alone, 5B Kids Fund granted a record number of grants to youth-serving organizations totalling $56,000! These grants, plus the events that 5B Kids Fund offers for free, served 11,611 youth this past year.

5B Kids Fund is grateful for all of the hardworking members who enable this impact, as well as all of our sponsors who help lower the costs for our fundraising events and make it possible for us to offer free kids events!
