An Unforgettable Evening
Since 2013, the No Foot Too Small Gala has grown from a small gathering of 75 people into one of Iowa’s most impactful fundraising celebrations—welcoming more than 750 guests each year. This flagship event is more than a fundraiser. It is a sacred space to:
- Honor angels gone too soon
- Celebrate families navigating pregnancy and infant loss
- Raise funds to support bereaved parents through programs, events, and Birthing & Bereavement Suites
Together, we’ll raise critical funds, create lasting memories, and remind families across the country that they are never alone.

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.
