Description

Join us for an evening of food, drinks, music, raffles and more. We continue to raise funds that will be used to create "Sunshine Kits" for NICUs and Labor and Delivery Units across the state. These kits will provide families with meaningful memories and pieces that they can take with them when they leave. The kits will include things such as a professional photographer who will come and take photos for the family free of charge, memorial jewelry (with the baby's fingerprint), handmade quilts, blankets, hats, and more. A sample kit will be on display at this year's event. 

Funds will also be raised to support our partnership with Everlasting Stitch LLC. Everlasting Stitch creates memory bears from clothing blankets, etc. that help families to honor the loss of a child (12 and under). This partnership provides families with a bear free of charge. 

Ticket price to this year's event includes admission, dinner, and drinks. Guests are encouraged to participate in the silent auction and raffle event and can purchase tickets at the door. There will be gift packages, baskets, and other items for auction/raffle.
