Sweet Pea Project's 4th Annual Remembrance Gathering

You are invited.



Summer is winding down and autumn will be soon be upon us.  Autumn means a lot of things to a lot of people- apple picking and pumpkins, comfy sweatshirts and crunchy leaves.  Here at Sweet Pea Project, autumn is a season of remembrance.  We invite you to join us once again as we hold our annual Remembrance Gathering on National Remembrance Day, October 15, at Long's Park in Lancaster, PA.  This gathering offers families a chance to come together and remember their children as a community and to celebrate their short but precious lives. We would be honored to have you join us as we gather together to listen to the beautiful music of our children's name spoken out loud in a field filled with love and support.

Sweet Pea Project's 4th Annual Remembrance Gathering is a free event that is open to the community, but registration is requested.   To register your family please visit www.sweetpeaproject.org/remember and click on REGISTER NOW.   Registration will be open until September 30.

We will be offering  commemorative T shirts again this year.   The shirts will feature our event logo on the front and include a list of the names of the children we are remembering on the back.  Shirts are available for $5 a piece and can be ordered online when you register.  All orders must be placed by September 30th.  We are very sorry, but it is not possible for us to ship shirts.  They must be picked up at the T Shirt Table at Long's Park between 5pm and 6pm on Tuesday, October 15.  Payment is due at the time of purchase either via paypal (at paypal.com sending money to Stephanie@sweetpeaproject.org) or mail a check to us at
