Bowties for Babies

Bowties for Babies is a fundraising gala held in honor of Alexandra's House, the perinatal hospice we worked with during our pregnancy with Caden.  The hospice serves families of terminally ill babies and provides a host of resources for these families in their time of need.  Alexandra's House does not fundraise in any way on its own...friends of Alexandra's House created the banquet as a way to support the incredible work that Patti Lewis and her amazing support people do.  

Alexandra's House has been very gracious in supporting Caden's Cubs, so we were ecstatic to have the opportunity to host a table at the Gala this year.  We invited families who have been recipients of Caden's Cubs to join us at our table and it was an amazing opportunity to get to meet new friends and spend time with friends we have known from earlier in our journey with infant loss.  We felt so blessed to be able to remember Caden, along with the children of the friends who sat with us, in this very special way.

We don't get to buy birthday or Christmas presents for our son, but being able to sponsor a table in honor of the ministry that is named for him means a great deal to us.  This year, we were also blessed by a friend of ours who created a special giftbasket in honor of Caden as a part of the silent auction held at the event.  The basket sold and the proceeds went to Alexandra's House.  We look forward to this evening spent memorializing our precious baby boy and other precious angels who left this earth much too soon.
