Carrying Whitney's love forward
The Whitney H. Robeson Foundation
Forever part of our mission.
Whitney loved children, loved seeing the world, and studied interior design at Auburn University. While in high school and college she worked alongside us on the Love Swaddle Mission, helping wrap newborns and their families in love.
After her passing, her family asked that Love Swaddles be given in her name instead of flowers. The first 100 went to Centra's Virginia Baptist Hospital in Lynchburg, where caregivers began wrapping babies on August 1, her birthday.
Today her family (Carrie, Matt, Griffin and Payton) carries her love forward through the Whitney H. Robeson Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Two ways to give in Whitney's honor
Gifts to the foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Whitney Robeson's Love Legacy
Give Love Swaddles to a hospital or healthcare facility
Your gift wraps newborns in a Love Swaddle® with 18 months of LovEntourage® postpartum support for mom and her circle. $25 wraps one family in love. Choose how you'd like to give:
- To a specific hospital: name the hospital and a contact person there, and we deliver the Love Swaddles to them.
- To the Baby Steps Program: we place your gift with a hospital trialing the Love Swaddle, or one that cannot afford it.
The foundation and LovEvolve follow up with giving details. No payment is collected on the form.
Are you a nurse or clinician? Share the gift form with a donor who wants to support your unit, or apply for the Baby Steps Program for your hospital.
Auburn University
Give to the Study Abroad Scholarship
Whitney loved to travel. A scholarship in her name helps Auburn University interior design students study abroad, and the foundation contributes to it directly.
To direct your gift to the scholarship, email support@whitneyhrobesonfoundation.org before you give and the family will arrange it.
