Roots of Hope Awards Brunch • Saturday, April 11, 2026 • 11:00 AM • Fogo de Chão, Irving, TX

Roots of Hope is more than a celebration—it is a commitment to equity in maternal health. Each gift and each presence at the table helps Abide expand care through our Easy Access Clinic™, Mobile Clinic, and Black Midwife Scholarship. This year, our shared goal is to raise $125,000 to strengthen families across Dallas and Tarrant Counties.


Come ready to be nourished in body and spirit. Enjoy Fogo de Chão’s renowned brunch, live music, and heartfelt stories that remind us why we do this work together. This is a space of joy, dignity, and belonging.

Every dollar raised helps families receive prenatal and postpartum care, supports the Mobile Clinic as it reaches new neighborhoods, and funds scholarships for the next generation of birthworkers of color. Your generosity becomes a lifeline.

Roots of Hope brings together community advocates, healthcare leaders, families, and friends who share the belief that Black lives and Black women matter. When we gather, we build a circle of care that keeps growing wider.
