There's a new face in the house 🤩

We’re thrilled to welcome Phoebe Wixsom to the team as our new Annual Fund Manager!

Born and raised in the East Bay and now living in SF, Phoebe is excited to be close to family while enjoying everything the city has to offer. She’s most looking forward to connecting with our amazing donors and sharing the powerful impact of Family House with others who are passionate about our mission.

When she’s not at work, you’ll find Phoebe with a good book, out on a hiking trail, or cheering on her favorite soccer teams. Fun fact: she spent one season as a wildland firefighter (yes, really 🔥💪)!

Join us in giving Phoebe a warm Family House welcome!

Golf With Heart is next Friday, and a special family will be joining us on the course 🧡⛳

Sebastian's story is one of hope and resilience - and we're grateful to the Mitose family for allowing us to share their journey. 100% of the proceeds from our Inaugural Golf Tournament will directly support a free home away from home for families while their child undergoes treatment for a life-threatening illness.

"Family House helped us through the hardest experience of our lives," the Mitose family shared. "We were able to focus on Sebastian, and that made all the difference."

Huge shoutout to @earlybirdtacos for stepping up to the tee with some seriously delicious breakfast tacos to start the tournament off right 🌮🏌️‍♂️ They'll be fueling our swings one bite at a time, and helping us raise essential funds to support our families — we couldn't do it without you! 🙌
