Join Us in Making a Difference
By joining us for this year's Moonlit Memory Walk, you're not just honouring the memories of loved ones who’ve died; you're also fueling vital work right here in your community. With the funds raised at this year's event, we’ll be able to expand several key initiatives within our Hamilton-Halton Chapter:
-
Partnership with Public Libraries: We've already begun collaborating with the Hamilton Library on Death Cafes & our "How to Talk with Kids about Death" workshops, and your fundraising efforts will help us further develop this partnership. We're also looking forward to extending our Death Education programming to additional libraries across the Hamilton-Halton region.
-
And more! Explore our Hamilton-Halton Chapter page for details on additional initiatives shaping our community.
Your participation in the Moonlit Memory Walk propels these efforts forward, ensuring that essential programs thrive and support reaches those who need it most in our region.
