Notable Moments:  The Feeding Matters annual event raises funds in support of the creation of a vital system of care for children with Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD). For kids with PFD, every bite of food can be painful, scary or simply impossible to swallow, potentially impeding nutrition, development, growth and overall well-being. Heartfelt “Stories of Hope” were shared at the event by benefactor families, and Founder and Emeritus Board Member Shannon Goldwater shared her family’s personal journey with PFD, which affected her now grown triplets. This year over 620 supporters from around the globe joined the live-streamed event.
