Live Butterfly Release Fundraiser
Every year we host a memorial butterfly release to remember and celebrate with the families who have had someone journey through Hospice in the previous year. Last year we created the community event and it was so well received, we wanted to continue it again this spring. Now more than ever, we want to give people an opportunity to celebrate, remember or give hope to someone who needs it.
The release of butterflies is a healing experience that can comfort family and friends who have experienced a loss. They are also often considered beautiful representations of the various stages of life and demonstrate that despite adversity, simple changes and time can make life even more beautiful than before.
We know its been a difficult time for everyone and in deciding to share this tradition with more people, we want to extend that hope, healing and connection across the city.
We hope this format gives people an opportunity to connect while still maintaining the health and safety of our community and respecting all social distancing requirements.
*Butterfly purchases do not qualify for a charitable tax receipt.
For further information, please contact our Event Coordinator at 403-309-4344 ext. 109 or by email.
