Samantha Busch and her husband, Kyle Busch, recently hosted the inaugural Bundle of Laughs event for their charitable effort, the Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund. The gathering took place with guests enjoying drinks and live entertainment, including a performance by former <a href="https://www.big14news.com/nascar/”>NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip, aimed at raising awareness and funds for couples struggling with infertility.
The Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund was established in 2015 by Kyle and Samantha Busch after their own experience with infertility, including IVF and surrogacy. The fund assists couples who face the expensive costs of infertility treatments, offering much-needed financial support to expand families.
How the Fund Offers Meaningful Assistance to Families
Since its inception, the Bundle of Joy Fund has granted over $2 million to assist more than 150 couples. These efforts have contributed to the birth of over 100 children, emphasizing the fund’s impact on families facing infertility challenges. The program encourages continued donations, which are tax-deductible, to ensure sustained support for future families.
Samantha Busch shared snapshots of the event, dressed casually in black jeans and a sleeveless top, and wearing lock and key necklaces symbolizing the names of their children, Brexton Locke and Lennix Key. She expressed deep gratitude to sponsors including NASCAR, Lucas Oil Products, Inc., Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, and driver Erik Jones for their support.
“No shortage of laughs, great drinks, and jaw-dropping moments at (The Bundle of Joy Fund) first-ever Bundle of Laughs event! Huge thanks to (Eric Eaton), (Michael Waltrip), & (The Comedy Zone – Charlotte) for an unforgettable show, and to all of our incredible sponsors for making it possible.”

The Inspiration Driving the Bundle of Joy Fund
Kyle and Samantha Busch spoke about the personal motivation behind creating the Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund during a TODAY show interview in April. They wanted to shine a light on the emotional and financial hardships involved in infertility treatment after experiencing it firsthand with their son, Brexton.
“Our son, Brexton, we call him the godfather. He’s the OG. So when we had to go through our trials and tribulations of having to go through IVF to have Brexton, we recognized not only the financial burdens of everyone that they have to go through, but of course, the emotional struggles that couples face as well going through that.”

“So we started the Bundle of Joy Fund for awareness, as well as for fundraising, and Samantha’s the head of all of that and handles all those things,”

Looking Ahead: The Legacy Continues With the Next Generation
Brexton Locke, now ten years old, is already establishing himself in racing, having recently won the Golden Driller trophy at the Tulsa Shootout. He aspires to race alongside his father in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series once he turns sixteen and fulfills series requirements. The Busch family’s commitment to their mission reflects ongoing hope and dedication to supporting couples through infertility struggles.
The successful launch event of the Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund marks a significant step forward in raising awareness and resources. It highlights the fund’s dedication to transforming the difficult journey of infertility into one of communal support and joyful possibility.
