You're invited to the SHINE ON Remembrance Run/Walk, a heartfelt community event created to honor and remember babies lost during pregnancy or infancy. Held at Charis Park in San Antonio, this annual gathering brings together families, friends, and supporters for a day of remembrance, healing, and hope.
This year’s theme, “Shine On, Little Lights,” is a tribute to the light each child brought into the world—no matter how brief their time. Through reflection and connection, we remember these precious lives and offer love and support to the families who carry them in their hearts every day.
Organized by SHINE ON, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families impacted by the premature loss of an infant, this event is not about distance or speed—it’s about walking together in unity, memory, and love.
Event Highlights:
- Butterfly Release – A symbolic moment to honor the lives of our little lights and the hope that continues to flutter in our hearts.
0 Community Run/Walk – A reflective walk through the neighborhood surrounding Charis Park. Move at your own pace in a space of comfort and remembrance.
- Memorial Slideshow – Featuring names and photos submitted by families, celebrating the lives of babies who are forever loved.
- Personalized Memorial Signs – Line the path with names, dates, and messages in honor of each child remembered.
- Community Gathering – With music, conversation, and shared stories.
- Family Activities & Crafts – Including remembrance crafts for children and families to create meaningful keepsakes.
Registration includes a commemorative event t-shirt and a butterfly for the release. Proceeds support Shine On’s mission of offering support, connection, and hope to grieving families.
