Our mission is to assist the community in meeting the needs of people facing perinatal death, the death of a baby due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant death.
Each year, the WNYPBN holds an annual Elegant Evening to Remember Gala to honor physicians, nurses, advocates, and volunteers who have made a difference in the lives of bereaved families in Western New York. In addition to honoring individuals, the gala is also a fundraiser that supports the programs of the WNYPBN. We hope you will join us at the 2026 event this year! Register for tickets here or find more details below.
Every year, we gather for our annual Bereaved Parents Day Brunch. It is a meaningful and heartfelt time as we came together to honor our precious babies and support one another as their parents. We share poems and readings, and light candles in remembrance — a quiet, powerful tribute to the little ones we carry in our hearts. We are so grateful to all the families who join us and help make this a beautiful and sacred gathering.
Details on our next Parents Brunch are below. Please scan the QR code or register for tickets here.
We hope to see you there!
Grief can feel different for men. Dads and grandfathers are often the steady ones, the fixers, the ones everyone else leans on. But loss doesn’t skip over you just because you’re strong. If you’ve been carrying it quietly, pushing through for your family, or feeling like there isn’t a place where you can say what this has really been like, this is that place.
Our grief support group welcomes fathers and grandfathers who are navigating loss. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to share if you’re not ready. Just showing up is enough. This is an opportunity for men to come together to share while enjoying a sweet treat. For more information or to RSVP for one of meetings, please call Kristen at (716) 222-2150.
Due to the restrictions and safety precautions required by New York State because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WNYPBN has to restructure our annual events. In response to this series of unfortunate circumstances, the creative team has come up with alternatives to our annual events, while still paying tribute to your beautiful babies and helping others who are in need of assistance after the loss of their babies, while keeping our community safe.
Please visit our Events tab for information about our upcoming 2022 Events and Fundraisers. We hope you are all able to participate in one or all of our events as we adapt to our “New Normal” and continue to stay in good health and be safe. We are grateful for your support!
Thank you, Emily, Christine, Sue, Kelly and our Event Volunteer Committee
