Organiser's Description
EVENT DATE: MAY 3, 2026 9 AM TO 12 PM

WHY BUBBLES?
Bubbles symbolize the many shapes and moments of grief, unexpected, unique, and deeply personal. Just as bubbles reflect rainbows in the light, they remind us of the signs, love, and connections our babies continue to send. These brief glimmers of color reflect the memories that stay with us forever.
OUR PURPOSE
To raise awareness and offer essential support to families grieving the unimaginable.
