The Cause

This October will be the third annual Tiny Footprints Gala. An event created to acknowledge and honor those short yet precious lives lost through miscarriage, stillbirth and/or neonatal death.
An event to start these conversations of loss so that we can grow together as a community and City on how to best support each other.

This event continues to grow and gain such momentum as such a need, with miscarriage losses 1 in 4 and still birth and neonatal deaths also occurring. It's important to increase awareness so that others don't feel alone on these journeys of loss.

Who Will it Benefit?

The event will benefit many as starting these discussions is important for the entire community. In simply having a space to discuss your loss provides such healing. We want to continue to raise awareness and funds so that all are aware of the resources available to support through these losses.
