film night and panel discussion for pregnancy and infant loss in ottawa & GATineau

On Friday April 28th, 2017, Aaron's Butterfly Run is hosting Ottawa and Gatineau's 1st-ever film night and panel discussion for pregnancy and infant loss.

What's happening at the event?

• There will be 3 films on pregnancy and infant loss, followed by a panel discussion with members of our community who've experienced a loss themselves and members of our community who provide support to those who've experienced a loss.
• Admission is free!
• There will be refreshments for sale, as well as a bake sale. 
• There will also be a sneak peak for a silent auction that's coming up at the beginning of June 2017 (stay tuned for more details)!
• All proceeds raised will support Aaron's Butterfly Run on Saturday October 14th, 2017 and Roger Neilson House. 

Who should attend?

• This event is open to anyone - whether you've personally experienced loss, know someone who has, or would like to support members of your community. We'd encourage absolutely anyone to attend!
• If you've experienced pregnancy or infant loss, we hope that this will be an to help you feel less alone, by hearing about other loss stories. This will also be an opportunity for you to connect with members on the panel, by asking questions, sharing your story, or just by listening to the conversation. 
• If you haven't experienced a loss your self, this will be an event where you can learn more about pregnancy and infant loss and support other members of your community.
• We'd also encourage you to attend if you are a health care practitioner who may work with patients who experience pregnancy and infant loss. This will be a chance to share your professional views, ask questions and hear about personal experiences from those in the community. 
• Regardless of your circumstances, your attendance will help raise awareness and funds for pregnancy and infant loss in Ottawa and Gatineau. 

Would you like to do more?

• We're still looking for contributions to the silent auction that's planned for early June. If you're able to contribute, please e-mail butterflyrunottawa@gmail.com
• If you'd like to get involved in another way, feel free to contact us to discuss other volunteer or sponsorship opportunities! We greatly appreciate any help we can get!

We hope you can join us to raise awareness and support those who've experienced pregnancy and infant loss in our community.
