Dignity Health Family Remembrance Run

The Dignity Health Family Remembrance Run, set for Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Chandler, AZ, offers a profoundly moving experience beyond a typical road race. This annual event provides a cherished opportunity for the community to unite and honor the memory of infants lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal complications, affectionately known as "Heaven's Hummingbirds." Participants in the 5K run and 1-mile walk directly support grieving families, with all proceeds benefiting the Butson Family Endowment for Infant Bereavement, funding essential resources like support groups and grief education.

Held at Tumbleweed Park, the event creates a serene setting for reflection and movement, welcoming all ages and abilities, including a Kids Dash for the youngest participants. Runners and walkers can anticipate a supportive atmosphere, marked by a touching dove release to open the day's events. Typical race day conditions in early May feature highs around 91F and lows around 56F, with a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, suggesting an early start to enjoy the cooler morning temperatures. All participants receive a commemorative Heaven's Hummingbirds T-shirt and a finisher's medal, with 5K runners also getting timed results.

More than just a race, the Dignity Health Family Remembrance Run is a powerful testament to community and compassion. Every stride taken helps bridge the gap for families navigating their grief journey, ensuring they receive comfort and healing. Join this inspiring event to move, remember, and make a tangible difference in the lives of those needing support.
