Spirit Week rolled into Firefly today with Pajama Day, and let’s just say… we’re pretty sure productivity hits different when you’re dressed for a nap. 😂

Comfort? ✔️
Caffeine? ✔️
Still lighting the way? ALWAYS. 💜💚

Awareness is where change begins. Every conversation about stillbirth helps break the silence, reduce stigma and brings attention to a tragedy that affects more than 20,000 families in the U.S. each year.

By sharing our stories, educating our community, and advocating for better resources, we are
helping to create a future where more babies celebrate their birthdays.
On National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day, please join Firefly in raising awareness, honoring every baby gone too soon and inspiring action that can help save lives.

✨ 82 volunteers. 136+ hours. 2 days. SO much impact. ✨

We’re still glowing from our Glowing Days of Service! 💜

82 incredible volunteers showed up and gave more than 136 hours of their time over two days — and that is nothing short of phenomenal. 🙌 What can you accomplish with that much community spirit? A LOT.

Our days may have involved a LOT of cutting, labeling, stuffing, assembling, building, and Rice-Krispie-treat-ing 😂 — but the real impact goes far beyond the numbers.

Because of our volunteers:

👻 1,200 children will receive a little extra Halloween fun (and a toothbrush!)
📬 1,000+ families will learn about resources that could help them thrive
🍬 1,200 Rice Krispie treats will soon be making people smile
💌 Hundreds of brochures, postcards, affirmation boxes, and information folders will help families stay connected to resources and feel supported
🚪 A new gate will help keep our kiddos safe
🧵 And a beautiful quilt is now proudly displayed for all to enjoy

That's the magic of service. What might look like a stack of postcards, a box of affirmation cards, or a tray of treats can become connection, support, safety, and a little more joy for someone else. 💛

Thank you to every person who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and helped us light the way for local children and families. ✨

82 volunteers. 136+ hours. Countless smiles and moments of impact.

Now that's how we glow! 🌟

Keep watching our socials — we're excited to show you where your hard work is making its way into the community! 👀

Together, we glow brighter. 💜

🔥 Bonfire & fall feels
🎶 Live music by Spare
🍂 Flannel weather (fingers crossed!)
🎟️ Raffles, pumpkin pull & more

Your doctor might tell you to eat an apple.

We’re telling you to buy a Fall Flannel Fling ticket. 😉

🎟️ Tickets required

Because an apple a day keeps the doctor away…
