Pomeroy Hotel & Conference Centre, Grande Prairie
Grande Prairie, AB — Tiny Hands of Hope is proud to announce the return of its signature fundraising event, the Illuminate the Night Gala, presented by Peace Diagnostic Imaging. This unforgettable evening will take place on March 21, 2026, at the Pomeroy Hotel & Conference Centre.
The Illuminate the Night Gala brings our community together for a night of celebration, connection, and meaningful impact. Guests will enjoy an elegant dinner, Dueling Pianos, auctions, and moments of heartfelt purpose — all in support of creating something deeply needed in our region: a dedicated home for grief, healing, and community support.
“We are building more than a physical space — we are creating a home,” says Tiny Hands of Hope. “A place where families navigating pregnancy and infant loss can find compassion, comfort, and connection. The gala helps make that vision possible.”
Funds raised at the event will help bring our vision of a home for Tiny Hands of Hope to life — a supportive, welcoming space for grief circles, community connection events, workshops, community programs, and even one-on-one support:
Event Highlights Include:
- Elegant dinner
- Dueling Pianos Presented by Dueling Divas
- Silent and live auctions
- Heartwarming moments honouring the families.
- Opportunities to directly support building a home for grief and healing in Grande Prairie

Grief Circles
Join our Grief Circle, a warm and comforting space for anyone who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss.
In our Grief Circle, you’ll find a nurturing community where stories, memories, and emotions are welcomed with open hearts. Together, we create a safe environment where healing can begin through shared experiences and compassionate support.
We believe that healing happens best in a cozy, understanding space where you can speak openly and be truly heard. Grief has no timeline, and whether your loss was recent or long ago, you are welcome here.
Whether you choose to speak, listen, or simply sit in quiet company, you are welcome.
You are not alone — within our Grief Circle, you’ll find connection, strength, and hope as we walk the path of healing together.
Third Thursday of Every Month.
Time: 7pm to 9pm

Community Building Through Community Connection Events
At Tiny Hands of Hope, we understand that healing takes many forms. Our Community Connection Events are designed to help individuals and families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss connect, recharge, and build community in a supportive and understanding environment.
We offer a variety of experiences to meet different needs and interests, including:
- Hands-on activities like crafting, work bees, and creative workshops
- Movement-based events such as fitness classes, yoga sessions, and community walks
- Learning opportunities that support emotional growth and healing
- Fun gatherings where laughter, lightness, and connection are the focus
Our Community Connection Events are intended for anyone touched by loss—whether you’re not yet ready for a Grief Circle, have moved beyond that phase, or are a support person wanting to be part of the healing journey. These events offer a chance to surround yourself with others who truly understand, helping to weave a strong, compassionate community.
You are not alone. There is a place for you here.
