UT Gardens Friendship Pavilion
2518 Jacob Dr., Knoxville
6 - 7:30 p.m.

We invite you to join us for a remembrance event at UT Botanical Gardens on Tuesday, October 15, any time between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Parents, family members, and friends are invited to drive through and view our special display remembering babies lost. There will also be an opportunity for families and loved ones to park and join us at the McIlwaine Friendship Pavilion to be supported and in community with other families. Every family will receive a gift, including a candle and luminary to place at their home in remembrance of their loved one.

If you're unable to join us at the event, we encourage you to participate in the Wave of Light that will take place all across the world in memory of these losses. Please safely place a candle or luminary in a place that is visible outside your home or in a window on Tuesday, October 15th, at 7 p.m. If you wish, you can post a picture of your luminary on Facebook & Instagram with the hashtags #waveoflight, #pregnancy&infantloss, and #KCHD.
