On May 10, 2025, Sophia Bush and Elaine Welteroth teamed up with birthFUND to host the Mother’s Day Party With a Purpose in Los Angeles. The event, held at The Underground Museum, was designed to celebrate motherhood while raising awareness for holistic perinatal care and midwifery birth support for women in the local community.
Elaine Welteroth, who founded birthFUND after struggling to find an OB-GYN during her first pregnancy, spoke passionately about the need to reframe how people view motherhood. She described it as “way more fun than it sounds” and emphasized the importance of having the right support system.
Sophia Bush was among the notable attendees, joining Welteroth in championing the cause. The event also featured appearances from Kelly Rowland and Jeannie Mai, adding to the star power of the evening.
