Why It Matters
The No Foot Too Small Gala began with a single invitation in 2013. After losing their son Beau to acrania, founders Robin and Ryan Boudreau gathered 75 people in a small room to remember, to celebrate, and to heal. That one evening sparked a movement. Today, NFTS spans the nation but the heart remains the same.
This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a sacred space to share stories, shine light in dark places, and celebrate lives that, though brief, leave the biggest footprints.
Your presence helps:
- Fund support programs for bereaved moms and dads
- Expand awareness of pregnancy and infant loss across communities
- Build Birthing & Bereavement Suites in hospitals nationwide
This night is a chance to turn grief into light, and love into action.
