What is a Butterfly Release?
Each spring, we remember loved ones with a live butterfly release, symbolizing our lasting love and the renewal of the season. We’re honoring loved ones who are gone from our sight, but not from our hearts. The event will begin with family-friendly activities, followed by a memorial ceremony.
When you participate, you are also helping Alive’s patients and families write a special final chapter together. Each purchased butterfly supports our nonprofit services, including grief counseling, community education, and financial aid.
