Description

Have you or someone you love been touched by miscarriage, stillbirth, or other forms of pregnancy/infant loss? Every year in the US alone, 26,000 babies – 71 per day – are stillborn. That's 10 times more than the number of SIDS deaths, and 1 in 160 pregnancies! More than half of these babies are at a viable gestational age and could have been saved, if we only knew how to recognize that they were in trouble.

Last year our family-friendly event raised over $150,000 for stillbirth research and education while honoring all babies gone too soon. Proceeds will benefit grassroots programs in our area and cutting-edge research nationwide. Because every pregnancy deserves a happy ending! 

All money raised for this event will be donated directly to Star Legacy Foundation (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) for use in projects in the NY Metro area and nationally to promote education & awareness in the medical community, provide outreach to hospitals, & support families who lose a baby.

Registration begins at 8:30am, 5k at 9am, walk at 9:30am, followed by BBQ and fun family activities. This event is stroller friendly!
