CELEBRATE
THE FOSTER CARE COMMUNITY
Research shows nearly 50% of foster families step away within their first year, often due to a lack of support…we’re on a mission to change that narrative! We created our organization to celebrate, uplift, and stand beside foster families, caseworkers, and advocates the best way we know how… by Going Bananas! Because when people feel seen, supported, and celebrated, that can change everything.
HOW WE CELEBRATE
BFF Celebrations
The Bananas Foster Families (BFF) program celebrates individuals and families making a meaningful difference in the foster care community. Through this program, selected BFFs are honored with the ultimate game day experience, including Banana Ball Backstage tickets, exclusive meet-and-greet interactions with the team, and a behind-the-scenes look at the show — an opportunity very few get to experience!
During each Banana Ball game, we spotlight a BFF to recognize their impact and inspire others to get involved in the foster care community. In addition to this one-of-a-kind experience, each honored BFF receives a $500 gift, which allows them to fully enjoy the day and create memories to last a lifetime.
More than just a celebration, this program is designed to tell the stories of those in the foster care community, bringing visibility, encouragement, and appreciation to those that often goes unseen.
Potassium CARE Baskets
Our Potassium CARE Baskets exist to meet the needs of children, teens, and families experiencing foster care. Whether it’s a child arriving with very little or a foster family navigating new and immediate needs, we step in with tangible support and compassion in this journey.
When needs are shared, we build each basket specifically for that child or family — providing essentials that bring comfort, stability, and hope. When needs aren’t immediate or shared, we offer a general CARE Basket with a gift card, so they can access what they need, when they need it most. These baskets may also include Banana Ball goodies to add an extra element of joy and encouragement.
On average, a basket costs $250. However, this amount varies because every situation is different and each basket is unique.
By supporting Potassium CARE Baskets, you’re not just giving supplies… you’re turning a stressful transition into one that feels supported and full of hope.
