Legacy Campaigns and Remembrance Events

One way to create a legacy for your baby is by creating a campaign or hosting an event to raise support for NILMDTS.

Legacy Campaign

You can create a campaign for just about any event

  • In memory of your baby’s birthday or angelversary.
  • For your own birthday to honor your precious baby.
  • In connection to a special holiday coming up.
  • To raise support for an event you may be taking part in such as a 5K run.
  • Any other creative idea you may have.

Setting up your campaign

You can use any of the following online resources to the right to set up your campaign. Once you have your campaign set up, be sure to promote your campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, as well as through email.

In Memory Gifts

Let us know that you have set up an online campaign so that we can make sure to include your baby’s name on our monthly In Memory Gifts list. You can contact us.

Hosting an Event to Support NILMDTS

Remembrance Events are events that families may decide to hold to honor or remember their baby. Some families would like to create events that also serve as a fundraiser to support the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep mission to give back to others walking in the same shoes.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND HAVE FUN!

You don’t have to have any fundraising experience to make a big impact. Let us help replace the possible fear of fundraising with some fun instead. Whether you love cooking, baking, or playing board games, it is very easy to turn something you love into a fundraising opportunity. Fundraising is simple when you start with ideas that really fit your lifestyle.

What do you like to do?

Need to do a little spring cleaning?

Host a yard or garage sale.

Take a little time to clean out your closets and the garage.  Also ask your friends and family to donate items to your sale.  Everyone has some stuff they don’t need and the beauty of this idea is that you raise money and de-clutter at the same time.

Love to entertain?

Host a brunch, dinner party or game night.

Invite friends to join you for an event to support your participation in the walk.  Ask friends to donate a small amount to join the festivities.  Just think if you have 10 friends who come and donate $10, in one day, you’ll have raised $100.

Do you and your friends like to bowl?

Ask your local bowling alley to donate a lane for an hour or two. Invite friends to come bowl for a donation. You could raise $90 if six friends came and each donated $15.

Are you an amazing baker?

If your chocolate chip cookies are the envy of all your friends, offer to bake batches in exchange for donations.

Events take many different forms:

  • 5K Race
  • Remembrance Walk
  • Golf Tournament
  • Release Ceremony
  • Candle Lighting Ceremony
  • Health Related
  • Art Related
  • Garage/Yard Sales
  • Jewelry Making
These are just a couple of ways to make fundraising fun.  With a little creativity, you can raise money in no time.

For Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep to provide support, supplies, and marketing, we kindly request that the event be a fundraising initiative specifically for our organization. If families plan to fundraise for two different organizations simultaneously, we appreciate being informed of this decision upfront to ensure proper coordination and acknowledgment.

Please email us so we can include your event details on our website and social media as appropriate to help spread awareness.
