OUR PROGRAMS THAT
MAKE AN IMPACT
Youth Programs
With various partnerships we are able to offer some exciting youth programs aiming to provide kids with opportunities to receive counseling, group mental health activities, leadership and awareness camps, inspiring school speakers, mental health training and SO much more!

Handcrafted with love by our Angel Mothers, these special baskets are delivered by mail to families who have recently lost a child. Each basket lovingly includes important information on beginning the grief process, journals, brochures, info on local support, and thoughtful gifts crafted by our board members.

Awareness Events
We’re excited to be out and about all year long—raising awareness, building connection, and showing up for our community with every event we attend and host! From local collaborations to our fabulous annual Vision Gala, we’re all in and ready to make a difference!
Bereaved Mother Retreats
For our bereaved mothers, we host 3 retreats per year, creating a warm and safe space for moms to bond and connect with each other, and receive grief support and guidance. These retreats are designed to be a safe haven for those of us mothers that have suffered the loss of a child. Sadly, if you are reading this, you may understand the importance of having someone that can empathize and share with on you on the same level of loss that we have experienced. After the loss of our son, we very quickly realized how important support from others that truly understand the grief of child loss is. Having found a community of amazing Angel Moms, and participating in other bereaved mothers’ retreats, we knew we needed to share that experience with others. Together, with other Angel Mothers, we have created the sacred retreats.
Sponsor A Mother
To help a mother attend one of our Bereaved Mother Retreats, you may donate any portion of the $600 registration cost, or cover the full amount. If you would like to reserve a spot for a mother—or designate your donation toward a specific mother’s registration—please email us at cristie@thmemorialfoundation.

OUR WHY
Here’s an insiders look at our foundation and why we do what we do. From annual fundraisers to educational events, each gathering is a chance to unite for a cause bigger than ourselves.
You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so the other people won't feel insecure around you.
Don't be afraid to be amazing.
Don't dilute yourself for any person for any reason. YOU ARE ENOUGH. Be unapologetically you.
