Get ready to dance the night away in dazzling disco style while supporting families who experience pregnancy and infant loss. This year, we are shining a special light on grandparent grief—an often overlooked but deeply felt journey of loss. Together, we’ll celebrate, remember, and raise vital awareness while fueling the mission to provide hope, healing and support to grieving families. Put on your sparkle, spread your wings, and be part of a night that makes a difference.
Register for FREE to access the virtual program, or enhance your experience with a VIP TICKET to attend the event in-person.
VIP guests are invited to dress to impress and "flutter by" the Monona Terrace for a fun and memorable evening. Walk the purple carpet and have free professional photos, enjoy Butterfly Martinis and live music during our Butterfly Social Cocktail Hour, feast on a 3-course gourmet dinner, hear inspirational messages from special guests, honor and remember our angel babies during a candlelight moment of remembrance, and dance the night away at our Disco Dance Party!

About the Alana Rose Foundation
The Alana Rose Foundation was founded in 2019 in loving memory of Alana Rose Whitmore.
Alana was born to eternal life on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 at 3:14 am at 32-weeks gestation due to a placental abruption.
"Her wings were ready, but our hearts were not."
The mission of the Alana Rose Foundation is to help raise awareness and provide hope, healing, and support to families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. We envision a world where all families who experience pregnancy and infant loss receive the love and support they need throughout their grief journey so they may, ultimately, be transformed by their experience in a way that promotes hope and healing.
The Alana Rose Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN # 84-2839389).
