14th Annual Celebration of Life, Love, & Memories

HeartsHeroes

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 14th Annual Celebration of Life, Love & Memories gala a huge success. This year’s theme was “Hearts and Heroes”. The night was filled with love and laughter as we celebrated and honored those who have touched our hearts and heroes who have made a remarkable difference in the world, and to our organization. Once again, we were fortunate to have had Mike Broomhead from KYFI 550AM’s popular weekday morning show as the emcee for the evening. His presence and support throughout the years has been both heartfelt and genuine.

Proceeds from our 2017 event enable us to continue holding both day and weekend-long grief camps for kids, teens and grown-ups with the goal of helping them understand their emotions, begin their grief journey and know they are not alone.
