On October 6, The Rooted Foundation gathered to recognize its 2025–26 fundraising efforts and look ahead to the 2026–27 year. The morning included a ceremonial $25,000 check presentation for ovarian cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Holly Ray Folgia shared a heartfelt statement during the gathering, taking time to thank the people who have helped along the way. She spoke of the flexibility and empathy that had been instrumental in getting to this point and offered a special thank-you to her sons, Peter and Matthew, for their love and support.

As Rooted begins another fundraising year, the foundation does so with gratitude for everyone who has supported its efforts and a continued commitment to research into ovarian and fallopian tube cancers. We look forward to what we can accomplish together.
