If you've received a few too many emails from me lately… you're not wrong. Or maybe you didn't…because they all landed in your SPAM folder. 😉 After the recent hack, I appreciate your patience, your grace…and the fact that you're still opening these messages!

 

Eleven years ago, I didn't stand at the podium. I couldn't. I was too overwhelmed, too emotional…frankly, too scared. Instead, I stood quietly to the side as 75 brave moms and dads gathered in a small ballroom to say their babies' names out loud. Little did I know, that night, the very first No Foot Too Small Gala was born.

 

We laughed. We cried. And we witnessed something extraordinary: grief and joy can coexist!

 

This year, on Saturday, November 1, more than 750 of us will gather once again at the Hyatt Regency Coralville for the 12th Annual NFTS Gala.  This time I will be at the podium and I would be honored to have you in the room.

Every paddle raised and every story shared fuels our mission—funding community, support, and spaces that remind families they are not alone. Your presence changes lives—mine included.

 

And here's something new: If we surpass 800 guests, we'll expand into the Hyatt's Exhibit Hall—ensuring there's still space for everyone to gather, celebrate, and remember. Just between us... we're also working on some exciting post-party entertainment to keep the celebration going long after the final toast. 

 

This heartfelt celebration of angels is generously sponsored by CBI Bank & Trust. We are so grateful for their continued support and belief in our mission.

 

Interested in sponsoring this incredible night? With hundreds of guests, generous exposure, and a mission that truly moves hearts, we'd love to explore a partnership that's meaningful for you and your brand. Let's get creative.

P.S. Tables sold out quickly last year. If you want to sit together, don't wait!
