Pierce’s Prance is a family-centered remembrance event held in honor of babies gone too soon. The event includes a Remembrance Walk, carnival-style activities, and meaningful ways for families to gather, remember, and feel supported.
Pierce’s Prance serves two purposes: to honor the lives of babies who will always matter, and to raise funds for Pierced Forever Foundation’s work supporting families after pregnancy and infant loss. Funds help provide burial-related assistance, grave markers, remembrance support, and other meaningful ways for families to carry their child’s memory forward.

Ways To Participate

|

Rally with your community by fundraising to support bereaved parents. You can join an existing team, or start your own team. Whichever you choose, you'll be part of something great.
|
Parents and Family
Parents who have lost a child are the heart of our Prance event. Connect with other parents. Inspire someone who has just lost a child by showing them your faith, light and love. Lend an ear to others who have gone through a similar situation. Be part of a community where loss is faced together, not individually.
|
Dedicate A Balloon
Honor a loved one with a balloon that has been decorated with a name, date, and/or message. These special balloons line the track at the Prance, creating a path of remembrance. Before our walk begins, we pause for a moment of silence. During the walk, each baby's name will be read aloud, giving every cherished memory its special recognition. By dedicating a balloon, you're not just commemorating a loved one but also supporting the Foundation's mission to help grieving parents. Balloons can be dedicated during online registration or directly at the Prance event.
