Still Singing Event this Saturday, doors open at 6:30 pm!

An event to remember all babies who were taken too soon...

Stillbirth, miscarriage, and infant loss are unfortunately all too common. They are under-recognized and under-talked about topics. The statistics are astounding. Sources may vary, but approximately 1 out of every 4 pregnancies end in a loss and 1 out of 160 pregnancies end in the birth of a stillborn baby.

The Still Singing Event will be held at the Kensington Arts Theater http://katonline.org/
in Kensington, MD from 6:30 to 10 pm on November 23, 2013. This event is meant to bring together families, friends, colleagues, and any one else who has experienced this type of loss or know someone who has. We have gathered some pretty talented local singer/songwriters to provide us with entertainment for the evening. We will also be raffling off items from local businesses and major league sports teams. Together we can raise awareness of perinatal loss and provide a strong support system for those that are in need.

Suggested donation for the event is $10 CASH or CHECK which will be collected at the door.

ALL proceeds benefit First Candle www.firstcandle.org
A charity dedicated to raising money for stillbirth research and maintaining healthy pregnancies.

Performers Include:
Zia Hassan www.ziahassan.com
Dave Farah www.davefarah.com
Annie Wolfson www.anniecranemusic.com
...and more!
