New to this year is the Hand Heart Wall, where guests can honour babies born still by purchasing a handcrafted wooden heart—100% of proceeds go directly to Still Aware.

Every single day, stillbirth impacts one in six Australian families. That’s one in every 135 pregnancies – a heartbreaking statistic that makes it clear: stillbirth is neither rare nor acceptable.

Still Aware is the only Australian charity dedicated solely to preventing stillbirth through community education, awareness campaigns, and advocacy. Their mission is simple but powerful – to end preventable stillbirth and support families affected by this devastating loss.

Whether you attend, donate, or help spread the word, your support can help bring Still Aware one step closer to its goal: a future where no family experiences the pain of preventable stillbirth.
