Once again, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love and support shown at our Rubio’s fundraiser for COTA for Sam. Your presence, generosity, and community spirit have made an immeasurable difference in this journey, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Thanks to your participation and contributions, we are thrilled to share that we are now more than halfway to our fundraising goal! This milestone would not have been possible without each and every one of you who showed up, donated and shared our mission.

The funds raised will go directly to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to help ensure that Sam has the resources needed during this critical time. Your kindness is a beacon of hope, reminding us that his family is not alone in this fight.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’re creating a future where Sam can thrive and continue to inspire us all with his strength and courage.

Let’s keep this momentum going! If you weren’t able to join us at Rubio’s, there are still opportunities to contribute and share our cause. Every gesture—big or small—brings us closer to reaching our goal. 

With heartfelt thanks,

The COTA for Sam fundraising team
