HEALS to the Pavement | 2025 Remembrance Walk

HEALs to the Pavement – Together, We Remember

HEALs to the Pavement is a meaningful community event created to honor and support families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy or infant. Whether you’re grieving personally, walking in memory of someone you love, or showing support for others, this gathering offers a compassionate space for remembrance and connection.

Families will have several opportunities to remember their babies in personal and heartfelt ways:

• Spend quiet time in the Memory Tent, where you can write a note or bring a photo or keepsake to share alongside those of other families.
• Build Your Own Bouquet, including your baby’s name or nickname.
• Take part in the Reading of Baby Names, raising your flowers in remembrance.
• Enjoy special Photo Opportunities that thoughtfully incorporate your baby into family photos.
• Walk the Remembrance Lap around the park with others honoring their babies.
• In addition to these remembrance activities, the event includes family-friendly fun such as lawn games, the Imagination Playground, and more. Each pre-registered family will receive a SWAG bag with memory items and helpful resources (additional bags available while supplies last).

Join us as we remember, celebrate, and walk together in healing.
