Partner Spotlight: Bee the Hope – A Mission of Support, Advocacy, and Hope for Families Facing Childhood Cancer
At ICBB Creations LLC, we believe the strongest partnerships are rooted in shared purpose. Some collaborations go beyond business — they become aligned missions built on compassion, impact, and community. That’s exactly what makes our partnership with Bee the Hope so meaningful.
Founded by Lauren Vengels, Bee the Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families affected by childhood cancer. With a mission centered on caring for the entire family, Bee the Hope provides practical support, meaningful resources, and advocacy for families navigating one of life’s most overwhelming journeys.
What makes this organization especially powerful is that it was built from lived experience.
A Mission Born From Personal Experience
Bee the Hope was created from Lauren’s deeply personal story — one shaped by resilience, uncertainty, and a firsthand understanding of what families face during a childhood cancer diagnosis.
As Lauren shares, Bee the Hope was born from her oldest daughter’s two battles with cancer and her family’s experience navigating the emotional, logistical, and financial realities that come with treatment. Out of that hardship came a clear and compassionate mission: to help ensure other families do not have to walk that road alone.
That kind of purpose changes everything.
Bee the Hope doesn’t just aim to “help” in a general sense — it is intentionally designed to meet real, immediate, everyday needs for families in active treatment. It recognizes that support must extend beyond the patient and include the entire household, because cancer affects every part of family life.
Supporting the Whole Family Through Practical Care
At its core, Bee the Hope is focused on reducing the day-to-day burdens that families often carry while caring for a child with cancer.
Their foundational initiatives include:
Providing meals to families during treatment
Creating care packages and meaningful support resources
Helping reduce stress through community-based assistance
Building stronger support systems through advocacy and awareness
These are not small gestures — they are tangible forms of relief during seasons that often feel impossible.
In many cases, the simplest forms of support can become the most meaningful: a meal after a long day at the hospital, resources that help a parent breathe a little easier, or a community reminder that they are not alone. Bee the Hope is built around those moments.
Their work is rooted in both practical compassion and long-term vision, aiming not only to meet current needs but to create a stronger, more sustainable support system for the future.
Early Impact With a Growing Vision
Although Bee the Hope is still in its early stages of program development, the organization has already begun making a meaningful impact through community-based support efforts.
So far, that impact has included:
Providing meals at the hospital
Creating opportunities for families to participate in local events
Laying the groundwork for expanded support programs
Building infrastructure for more consistent, sustainable service
This early momentum matters.
Many of the most impactful organizations begin not with scale, but with clarity — a clear understanding of what families need and a willingness to meet those needs with heart and action. Bee the Hope is demonstrating both.
As they continue building out their core meal support and care package programs, their mission remains focused: to bring stability, dignity, and encouragement to families facing childhood cancer.
A Founder Committed to Advocacy and Community Change
Lauren Vengels’ leadership extends far beyond launching a nonprofit. Her work reflects a strong and ongoing commitment to advocacy, awareness, and systems-level collaboration.
She has been featured on:
KRCL
ABC4’s Good Things Utah
Multiple podcast platforms
These opportunities have helped bring visibility to the realities families face during childhood cancer treatment and the urgent need for stronger support systems.
In addition to public storytelling and awareness work, Lauren is actively involved in larger statewide and community efforts, including:
Participation with the Utah Cancer Coalition
Contributions to the state cancer plan
Membership in the Davis Chamber of Commerce
Involvement with the Utah Nonprofits Association
These experiences reflect a thoughtful, strategic, and deeply community-oriented approach to leadership. Bee the Hope is not only providing support in the moment — it is helping shape the future of what support could and should look like for families across Utah and beyond.
