Photos From Our 2025 Sunset Soirée Are Here
What a night. 💙
Our 2025 Sunset Soirée at the Valerie’s House Fort Myers Family is Forever Home brought our community together for an evening filled with love, connection, hope, and support for grieving kids and families across Southwest Florida.
From the beautiful butterfly-inspired details to the stories shared throughout the night, this year’s Soirée reminded us what’s possible when a community comes together to make sure no child grieves alone.
We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, donated, and helped make the evening so special.
And now… we’re excited to share some of our favorite moments with you.
