The TEARS Foundation Rock & Walk for Babies

The TEARS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that compassionately assists newly bereaved families in Washington State with their baby’s funeral expenses and with ongoing emotional support. The Rock & Walk is a time for our community to gather, let bereaved families know they are not alone, raise funds to support these families and build awareness about pregnancy and infant loss. Families who have lost a child are invited to walk the first lap at the event allowing them to honor their child. As the community joins, families are reminded that while we walk together, we can find hope. Participants “Rock” in rocking chairs which symbolize why we are there supporting families who have lost a child. They “walk” in honor of a child around a path lined with hand crafted memorial butterflies, each with a name of a child loved and honored.
