National October 15th Candle Lighting & Walk

You’re Invited: The 5th Annual TEARS National Walk & Candle Lighting Ceremony
October 15 | 5:30–7:30 PM | National Mall, Washington, D.C.

Join us in the heart of our nation’s capital as we gather for a powerful evening of remembrance, healing, and unity in honor of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Together, we’ll walk to break the silence surrounding miscarriage, stillbirth, and child loss — and to celebrate the enduring love we carry for our babies gone too soon.

Whether you attend in person or join us virtually via Zoom, your presence matters.

✨ Special Tribute:
The names of the first 125 babies submitted with registration will be printed on our National Walk T-shirts and displayed along the walk path on personalized signs.

🕯️ Candle Lighting at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (7:00 PM EST):
As night falls, we’ll light candles together — a shared moment of reflection and love that spans across the country. (Candles provided for in-person participants.)

This is more than an event. It’s a movement. It’s a sacred space. And we need you there.

Register now to walk with us; for hope, for healing, for love.
