The Good Grief Gala

We couldn't run this program without the Good Grief Gala. Save the date for October 25th, 2026, as we'd love for you to join us and come together to honour loved ones, build community, and help fund life-changing therapy for women and families experiencing child loss.

Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation goes toward turning grief into hope.
