The NICU is in need of two JET ventilators. These special vents can give babies more breaths at a faster rate than a normal ventilator. The JET helps to improve oxygen/gas exchange without causing more damage to the Fighters' delicate lungs. This is especially important in premature babies because their lungs are already not fully developed and extremely fragile. Currently, our local NICU does not have any of these special vents and they are having to transfer babies out, which could potentially separate them from their twin or hospitalized mom and cause an unnecessary stressor on the family. Additionally, parents can still do Kangaroo care (skin to skin) with the JET ventilator, which is something that is not allowed/feasible with the other main type of ventilator. This is why we did not get to hold Kaylen for the first nine days, and if we can prevent another family from having to go through that - then it is what we HAVE to do!
We are asking for your help to achieve our $120,000 goal and make it a little easier for future NICU FIGHTERS.

We have partnered with two hotels for Fighters' Weekend.
Hotel Vin is located in Grapevine halfway between Golf and the Gala. We have reserved rooms Thursday and Friday night.
Transportation has been coordinated Friday from Hotel Vin to the Gala and back.
Home2 Suites in Flower Mound is located 10 minutes from the Gala. We have reserved rooms for Friday night, but rooms can be booked for Thursday as well by contacting the hotel.
Feel free to email us at info@kaylensfight.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We wanted the opportunity to socialize and thank all of our generous sponsors in a relaxing and fun environment. The Gala will provide a perfect opportunity for us to tell our story, celebrate the NICU heroes that help us everyday, and broadcast our mission. It will also allow us to share our story with our Fighters that do not golf but want to support.
Think Vegas meets Texas Tuxedo. We figured casino night for Friday the 13th was fitting! Dress for the Gala is Texas Tuxedo. This means you can go formal with black (or pink) tie and gown, or you can dress it down with your favorite pair of cowboy boots and a hat.
