Join us October 15th for a gentle evening of remembrance as we release lanterns with lit candles, in honor of babies gone too soon 🕊️. This event offers a peaceful and beautiful shared space to reflect, grieve, and remember together. 🩷💙💜
By registering and donating, you help Missing GRACE Foundation continue compassionate support, education, and resources for families facing pregnancy and infant loss, infertility, and adoption challenges.
This is our Annual Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Event, Wave of Light, and our main benefit for Missing GRACE Foundation.💜
The event takes place Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (CST) at The Land of Promise in Buffalo, MN, a serene and peaceful venue on beautiful Beebe Lake.
At the event you will have the opportunity to personalize your lanterns, share stories and pictures of your baby(s), light candles at our memorial table, have professional pictures taken, meet with the Missing GRACE Founders and vendors, purchase remembrance items at the GRACE Gift Shop table, walk through the lovely memorial gardens and property with gazebo, docks and barn, and enjoy the live music by Bryce Hegge, and partake in the delicious meal and beverages sponsored by Mike's Discount Foods.
The Facebook Live Commemoration Ceremony will take place at 6:45 PM CST, at which time each baby's name will be read aloud, a poem will be said together, and everyone will release their floating lanterns with candles on the lake. 7:00 PM is the Worldwide Wave of Light and our candles and lights will all be collectively lit up as we join with others across the world who are remembering their babies. There will be a bonfire and areas lit up with pink, blue, purple and white lights.
Bring your baby's memorial items to display and share on the Commemoration Table (such as a baby photo album, framed photo, poem, figurine, stuffed animal, etc).
Invite your friends and family to participate and share in this very meaningful and memorable evening together! Registration is also available onsite, but only pre-registered attendees receive a special gift bag.
