Bundle of Joy Fund – Fifty Babies and Counting
Infertility affects about 12% of women aged 15 to 44 in the United States, and couples can spend tens of thousands of dollars seeking help from medical experts during their journey. NASCAR’s Kyle and Samantha Busch know this story all too well.
The couple experienced issues with infertility while trying to get pregnant with their first child in 2014. They made the decision to seek help through in vitro fertilization shortly after.
“We tried to have children naturally for quite a while, and it wasn’t working. So ultimately we had to go through the route of IVF,” Samantha Busch told CharlotteFive recently. “In going through that, we realized it’s not only a physical and emotional struggle, but the financial hurdles are also crazy — and things add up so fast, and insurance doesn’t cover any of it.”

The Busch family welcomed their first son, Brexton, in 2015. The joy the couple felt in being able to have their own bundle of joy inspired them to launch the Bundle of Joy Fund — an organization created in September 2015 to provide grants to Charlotte-area families seeking IVF due to infertility. They recently hosted their annual fundraiser — with a theme of Vegas Baby — where they announced that Bundle of Joy has helped over 80 families with IVF costs. More than $1 million has been raised.
The couple also shared news during the Vegas Baby fundraiser that during their last round of treatments, they decided to move forward again with a gestational carrier who is now 19 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. “Brexton is so excited to become a big brother,” Samantha Busch said.
This would not be possible without our amazing partners and donors. If you or anyone you know struggles with infertility, please consider donating to The Bundle of Joy Fund. Any amount you donate helps a family get one step closer to their own bundle of joy. 💚 pic.twitter.com/KhvhpVdPaC
