First Candle in Elise's Honor

Please join us on October 15, 2011 at MacGregor's Restaurant to remember Elise Renee Tagliaferri who was born still on April 6, 2009. This event was created by Elise's parents to raise money to support the initiatives of First Candle and raise awareness about stillbirth.

Elise's honor is being held on October 15 as part of a coordinated effort to be part of the globally recognized Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day. In addition to dinner, attendees will be invited to participate in the international Wave of Light where people all over the world will light a candle at 7pm local time to remember babies who were lost too soon. Each person with an adult ticket will have the opportunity to name a candle at the Wave of Light ceremony in honor of a baby of a child who passed away.

In addition, to the Wave of Light, the event will have a variety of activities including a DJ, raffles, and a silent auction!
