From the Organizer
Join us for the inaugural Trick or Trot: A Remembrance Run/Walk for Babies Gone Too Soon benefiting Glory Baby Ministry.
Held during Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Month, this special event brings families, friends, and the community together to honor and remember babies who were gone too soon while also creating space for hope, healing, and fellowship.
Participants are invited to come dressed in their favorite Halloween costume (optional) and enjoy an afternoon filled with remembrance, community, and purpose.
This event is open to all ages and fitness levels.
Because every baby matters. Every story matters. Every life deserves to be remembered.
