Share Walk for Remembrance & Hope to be held Oct. 7 in Germantown

The Auxiliary of HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese’s local Share group invites the community to attend the Share Walk for Remembrance and Hope on Saturday, Oct. 7. Check-in will start at 9 a.m. at Schoendienst Park in Germantown with refreshments and a Keepsake Creations area. The memorial service, including a balloon release and leisure walk, will follow at 10 a.m. 

The Share Walk for Remembrance and Hope provides families who have experienced the tragic death of a baby or infant an opportunity to openly acknowledge and remember their babies amongst family, friends and the bereavement community.

Attendees may also register the day of the event. Adult registration of $20 includes participation in the memorial and balloon release. Donations can be sent to St. Joseph’s Auxiliary/Share Program, PO Box 99, Breese, IL 62230.
