ONLINE: Butterfly Ball

press release: The Alana Rose Foundation is excited to host the 2nd Annual Butterfly Ball on Saturday, February 27, 2021! Due to the uncertainly of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year's event will be held virtually. You are invited to participate as you “cocoon” in the safety of your own home. Register for FREE to access the virtual program and online silent auction. Enhance your experience and show your support by purchasing a VIP ticket, which includes access to a Private VIP Pre-party and After-party, an entry into a drawing for a free ticket to next year’s Ball, and additional add-on options (e.g. gourmet 3-course take-out meals from the Madison Concourse Hotel, Butterfly Martinis, and hotel packages). VIP package sales end on Feb. 14.

Proceeds from this year's event will support the Harambee Village's efforts to establish the Harambee Village Birth & Family Center in order to address the alarming disparities in birth outcomes among Black women in Southern Wisconsin and Dane County, UnityPoint Health Meriter's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Program and the ongoing efforts of the Alana Rose Foundation to raise awareness and provide hope, healing, and support to families who experience pregnancy and infant loss.
