While the world outside can often feel overwhelming, the community here at Buzzy’s Bees remains a steady source of light. As we step further into 2026, we want to pause and offer our deepest gratitude to everyone who dedicated their time, energy, and resources throughout 2025. Our mission—supporting families navigating the sudden loss of a young child—is only possible because of your compassion. You are the heart of this hive, allowing us to reach wider and hold space for those facing the unimaginable.
In Loving Memory
We believe that remembering is an act of love. This year, through generous donations and our annual golf tournament, we collectively honored the lives of these precious little ones:
Adriana Salerno
Aiden Causey
Carson Dunn
Donna Louise Livengood
Emilio Mendler
Hudson Drews
Lola Jessica LaParne
Mollie Florence Smith
Our Shared Mission
Buzzy’s Bees is a small, volunteer-driven organization, which means every hour donated and every dollar gifted has a direct, tangible impact. Whether we are easing a financial burden, providing resources, or simply providing a quiet presence as grief is expressed, we could not do it alone. Your partnership fuels our efforts and encourages us to keep moving forward. To everyone who has moved with us, advocated for us, and supported us: Thank you for being part of the Buzzy’s Bees family.
