2025 Rocket Ball: Imagining Futures

The 2025 Rocket Ball was an evening filled with hope and generosity, bringing together a community dedicated to supporting children and families. 

With this support, we continue partnering with parents and caregivers, meeting children where they are, understanding their needs, and walking alongside them on their journey to healing. At FamilyForward, we are imagining brighter futures for children and families, and this incredible generosity makes that work possible.

Together, we raised more than $650,000 to advance safer, healthier relationships for those we serve.

2025 Pott Child Advocacy Award

During the 2025 Rocket Ball, we were proud to honor Vic Koury as the recipient of the Pott Child Advocacy Award for his unwavering dedication to FamilyForward’s mission and the children we serve.

For over five decades, Vic, his family, and Koury Insurance Agency have been valued partners, offering their time, expertise, and generosity. Beyond his professional role, the Koury family has introduced new supporters, attended events, and shared their talents—all driven by a passion for helping children thrive.

We are grateful for their lasting impact and proud to celebrate their commitment to children and families.
