This year, we hope to raise $50,000 to benefit local programs supporting families journeying through pregnancy and infant loss.

Tiny Footprints is 100% volunteer-run. We do not have any paid members, including our board of directors. After we cover our costs (e.g., cost of the gala, website fees, other administrative costs), all profits are directed to fund initiatives and programs that support grieving families.

This is a “black tie optional” event. Black tie attire (such as tuxedos and floor-length gowns) is welcome but not required. Feel free to dress in business formal attire, cocktail attire, or whatever you feel most comfortable in.
