OCT. 15TH @ SPACES gather space.
If you or someone you care about has lost a child to stillbirth, miscarriage, SIDS, or any other cause at any point during pregnancy or infancy, please join us in raising awareness this October for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
Tens of thousands of families across the United States are devastated each year by the death of their baby. But the grief of these families and the value of their babies’ lives are very rarely acknowledged.
In 1988, US President Ronald Reagan declared October as a month to recognize the unique grief of bereaved parents in an effort to demonstrate support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss. Promoting awareness of pregnancy and infant loss not only increases the likelihood that grieving families will receive understanding and support, but also results in improved education and prevention efforts which may ultimately reduce the incidence of these tragedies.*
On Friday, October 15th, 2021 we will be raising awareness & money for TWO very special causes.
1.) St. Luke’s Foundation & memorial boxes for parents.
2.) St. Louis River Alliance in River Meriwether Johnson’s name.
Please stop by SPACES from 10am-6:30pm to enjoy a cookie in honor of ALL the babies that are missing birthdays this year.
At 4:15pm, there will be a champagne toast. Anndrea will be breaking the silence & toasting ALL of the babies that have died.
If you’d like to make a donation to either cause above, please bring cash/check to avoid the credit card fees.
