Event summary
Join us for the inaugural Butterfly Walk on Sunday, May 5, 2024, in St. Peters, St. Charles, as we unite on National Bereaved Mother's Day to honor the precious babies we hold in our hearts. This uplifting event is free to attend and aims to raise awareness and funds for the 1 in 4 individuals who experience pregnancy and infant loss. The Butterfly Walk is more than just a walk; it's a gathering to break the stigma surrounding this sensitive topic, provide support to bereaved families, and acknowledge the often-overlooked grief experienced by siblings and grandparents.
Participants can engage in meaningful activities while connecting with others who understand their journey. We encourage everyone to create or join a team fundraiser and share their stories on social media to amplify our cause. All proceeds will assist families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss, providing vital resources like informational brochures, comfort kits, and weighted stuffed animals. Don’t miss out on the chance to have a baby's name recognized on a commemorative T-shirt if you register by March 31. Let’s come together to show that no one has to walk this path alone!

Organiser's description
Join us on National Bereaved Mother's Day for our inaugural Butterfly Walk as we come together to honor the babies we can only hold in our hearts. This event is free to attend.
We are walking to:
* raise funds to support the 1 in 4 women and men who experience pregnancy and infant loss.
* break the stigma and silence that surround pregnancy and infant loss.
* come together to end the sense of isolation that men and women feel when experiencing the loss of a child.
* acknowledge the siblings, who are often referred to as the "forgotten mourners".
* recognize the dual grief that grandparents often experience.
* legitimize the unique grief that men and women feel when experiencing infertility.
* honor the intense sense of loss and heartbreak that families experience with failed adoption.
* let bereaved families know that you are NOT ALONE!
If you're unable to attend or wish to contribute to our cause of supporting families nationwide, consider either creating or joining a team fundraiser and posting to your social media accounts. All proceeds from this event will go towards assisting families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss in the form of informational brochures, comfort kits, or weighted stuffed animals.
Stay tuned for T-shirt designs! If you register by March 31, you can also request to have a baby's name recognized on the back of the shirt.
Butterfly Kisses Alliance is a charitable foundation that was founded in 2023 by a group of nurses that are passionate about perinatal bereavement.
