Annual FriendRaiser Gala

Join Us For A Night Of Inspiration & Compassion Saturday, October 10 | 5:00 PM | Downtown Canton, OH

The Ashlie’s Embrace FriendRaiser Gala is an inspiring evening dedicated to honoring the lives of babies gone too soon while ensuring that more families facing stillbirth and infant loss receive the gift of time when every moment matters.

Founded in memory of Ashlie Cathren Maroon, Ashlie’s Embrace was created to turn unimaginable heartbreak into hope for others. Our mission helps families spend precious time with their babies.

The FriendRaiser Gala brings together supporters, healthcare professionals, community partners, and families whose lives have been touched by this mission. Through meaningful remembrance and a shared commitment, we celebrate the impact we have made together while looking toward the future.
