At Ask the Egghead Inc., we’re privileged to work with a variety of incredible organizations that are making a difference in the world, but some partnerships stand out in a truly special way. Recently, our team had the honor of sitting down for lunch with Brooke DeBarros, a driving force behind the Team Chase Foundation. This amazing organization is changing lives, one smile at a time, by supporting children and families impacted by critical illnesses. Over a delicious meal, we delved into their inspiring mission, discussed their ongoing initiatives, and explored how we can collaborate to amplify their efforts.

This lunch wasn’t just about business—it was a meeting of minds, hearts, and a shared commitment to helping others.

Meet the Team Chase Foundation

If you’re unfamiliar with the Team Chase Foundation, it’s time to take notice. Named in memory of Chase DeBarros, a vibrant young boy whose spirit continues to inspire, the foundation is dedicated to creating joyful moments for children battling serious illnesses.

From organizing fun events to offering financial support for families dealing with medical expenses, the Team Chase Foundation’s mission is rooted in hope, compassion, and community. Their work doesn’t just impact the children they help—it uplifts entire families, creating lasting memories and alleviating the burdens of a challenging journey.

Lunch with Brooke DeBarros: Inspiration on the Table

We recently had the pleasure of sharing lunch with Brooke DeBarros, the passionate and dedicated leader of the Team Chase Foundation. The energy and heart she brings to the foundation are nothing short of inspiring. As we connected over a meal, Brooke shared powerful stories of the lives the foundation has touched and their ambitious plans for the future.

One story in particular stood out to us—a tale of a young child whose family was overwhelmed by the emotional and financial strain of a critical illness. Thanks to the Team Chase Foundation, this family was able to attend a fun-filled community event that gave them a break from the stress of hospital visits and treatments. That event not only brought smiles to the child and their family but also gave them a sense of normalcy, even if just for a day. Hearing this story reminded us of why we do what we do: to support organizations like Team Chase Foundation in their mission to create positive change.

The Collaboration: Supporting the Foundation’s Digital Goals

During our lunch, we also discussed the ways Ask the Egghead Inc. can support the foundation’s goals. Brooke expressed her vision for expanding the foundation’s digital presence, which is critical in reaching more families, donors, and volunteers. Here’s how we’re helping:

  1. Website Optimization
    The Team Chase Foundation’s website is already an incredible resource for those looking to learn about their mission or get involved. We’re working with Brooke and her team to ensure the site is optimized for user experience, making it easier than ever for visitors to donate, volunteer, or attend events.
  2. Fundraising Campaign Support
    Digital fundraising is a key pillar of the foundation’s efforts, so we’re brainstorming innovative ways to integrate donation portals, storytelling campaigns, and social media outreach to help them raise funds efficiently and effectively.
  3. Event Promotions
    The foundation’s community events are at the heart of their mission. From planning digital ad campaigns to designing event pages, we’re helping Brooke and her team spread the word to maximize attendance and engagement.
  4. Brand Awareness and Outreach
    Increasing awareness of the foundation’s work is essential for their growth. By enhancing their SEO strategy, email outreach, and social media presence, we aim to bring the Team Chase Foundation’s story to more people who can contribute to their incredible mission.

What We Learned from Team Chase Foundation

If there’s one thing we took away from this lunch, it’s the power of purpose. Brooke and her team are driven by a mission to create joy for families who need it most. Their ability to turn tragedy into triumph and to channel their grief into something so positive is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

We were also reminded of the importance of connection. The Team Chase Foundation is successful because it brings people together—families, communities, and supporters—all united by a desire to help. It’s a powerful reminder that collaboration, whether between individuals or organizations, is what drives meaningful change.

The Future Looks Bright

Our lunch with Brooke DeBarros was more than a meal—it was an opportunity to align our goals and discuss ways we can support this remarkable organization. By combining their heart and passion with our digital expertise, we’re confident that we can help the Team Chase Foundation make an even greater impact.

We look forward to continuing this partnership and helping Brooke and her team expand their reach, increase their resources, and touch more lives. Together, we can work toward a world where every child and family facing critical illness has the support and joy they deserve.
