Walk to Remember 2025 : Honoring Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Month
 
Every October, communities around the world pause to honor the tiny lives that left footprints on our hearts. Elizabeth’s Closet is proud to host our Second Annual Walk to Remember in recognition of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Month.
 
This walk is more than an event—it’s a moment to come together in love, remembrance, and solidarity. Whether you walk in memory of your own baby, in support of a friend or family member, or simply to raise awareness, your presence helps ensure no grieving family walks alone.
 
 
Why We Walk
 
• To Remember: We honor the babies gone too soon, saying their names and keeping their memories alive.
 
• To Support: Families touched by loss deserve compassion, understanding, and community.
 
• To Raise Awareness: 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss. By walking, we break the silence and help others know they are not alone.

HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS
Every dollar raised through the Walk to Remember directly supports grieving families in our community. Your generosity helps Elizabeth’s Closet continue to provide meaningful care, comfort, and connection through programs like:

- Corewell Health Infant Bereavement Program: Elizabeth's Closet partners with Corewell Health to ensure that families receive immediate comfort and resources at their time of loss, funding bereavement boxes and loss support.

- Family Care Packages – Thoughtful boxes filled with comfort items, grief resources, and remembrance keepsakes for parents experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.

- Birthday & Remembrance Cards – Personalized notes mailed on birthdays and remembrance dates, ensuring families know their babies are remembered year after year.

- Local Ambassador Chapters – Volunteers hosting quarterly meet-ups, supporting families locally, and helping create networks of compassion.

- Annual Awareness Events – Programs like the Walk to Remember and the Holiday Event that bring families together and break the silence surrounding loss.

Your gift doesn’t just support an event—it sustains a community of love, remembrance, and hope. Together, we can continue to ensure that every family knows: you are not alone, your baby is not forgotten, and your grief is honored.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

This campaign is free to participate in.

However, we encourage you to donate optional/suggested amount during registration or you can always donate any amount on your fundraising page after the registration.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

You can track your workouts by setting up your devices (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Health Connect By Android, Misfit, Strava), or download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?

You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
