🌟 Meet Arkansas Children’s Northwest pediatric sports medicine physician Dr. Jacob Smith. 🌟

Born and raised in northeast Arkansas, Dr. Smith grew up playing baseball and continues to make the sport a big part of his life. Outside of medicine, he enjoys traveling, spending time with family and supporting his charity that builds baseball infrastructure in Latin America.

Dr. Smith chose sports medicine because he wanted to help young athletes get back to doing what they love. At Arkansas Children’s, he works with active kids and teens to treat injuries and pain, determine when it’s safe to return to play and help families understand when imaging, therapy or additional time is needed.

🔔💙🎗️ A moment worth celebrating: After 867 days of cancer treatment, 10-year-old Manuel rang the bell at Arkansas Children’s Northwest, marking the end of his cancer treatment and the beginning of a new chapter.

Manuel was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia on January 2, 2024, and started chemotherapy the very next day. His final IV chemotherapy treatment was May 19, 2026, followed by his last oral chemotherapy treatment on May 23.

For 867 days, Manuel and his family faced the ups and downs of pediatric cancer together. Along the way, he also received care from general surgery, plastic surgery and wound care specialists. Through it all, his Arkansas Children’s team was there providing care, support and hope every step of the way.

“Throughout everything that my son has had to endure, Arkansas Children’s has always been a safe haven for our family," said Yasmeen, Manuel’s mom. "I am beyond grateful for the support and care they have provided for my son. Thank you for giving my son a second chance at life."

Congratulations, Manuel! We’re so proud of you!

⛳️✨ From the fairways to the ballroom floor, our community showed up big for kids in northwest Arkansas!

Will Golf 4 Kids and Gala of Hope together raised more than $3.2 million to fuel the exciting expansion happening at Arkansas Children's Northwest.

Golfers teed off at Dogwood and Kingswood golf courses while guests filled the Fayetteville Public Library for a night to remember. Together, these two events marked an incredible fundraising success, and a powerful investment in the future of pediatric care across northwest Arkansas and the region.

This support will help expand access to expert pediatric care, improve health outcomes and elevate the patient experience for kids and families.

Gala of Hope Chairs Dalilah and Ben Blakeman brought energy and heart to this year's gala, while Will Golf 4 Kids honorary chairs, Walmart’s Brad Bedwell, Will McDonald, Brian Salmon and Katie Smith, helped rally the golfers.

Thank you to our generous sponsors, led by founding sponsor Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation, for helping make it all possible. 💙

⚾💙 Arkansas Children's patient Hewitt Kahana took the mound to throw the first pitch at a Northwest Arkansas Naturals game last month, a moment worth celebrating.

At just 14 years old, Hewitt has already shown incredible strength. In 2022, he underwent a successful five-hour craniotomy at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. Following surgery, he was diagnosed with a rare, malignant neuroepithelial tumor. Throughout surgery, chemotherapy and recovery, Hewitt became known not only for his resilience but for the way he cared for those around him, especially his younger brother and sister.

Just three months after ringing the bell to celebrate the end of his treatment in 2023, Hewitt received the news every family hopes to hear: No Evidence of Disease (N.E.D.). He was back on the baseball field almost immediately after his final treatment and continues to receive follow-up care at Arkansas Children's Northwest.
