REMEMBER & CELEBRATE
Families will have the opportunity to remember their babies in several ways during the event…

-Raise your flowers in remembrance during the reading of baby names

In addition to these opportunities to remember, we’ll have activities including lawn games, the Imagination Playground and more! Each family will receive a SWAG bag with additional memory items and resources (all pre-registered families are guaranteed a bag, additional bags are available while supplies last).
