Due to rain and the muddy conditions at the cemetery, the 2026 Walk to Remember ceremony will be offered in a virtual format. The video will be posted here starting at 11a today and will remain up on the website for the remainder of the year for your viewing. However, for anyone who would like to stop by for a visit and to pick up their pin and program, Amanda and a few volunteers will be present along the driveway nearest the Children’s Garden, under a blue tent today from 1p-2p. We hope you understand and would love to see your faces if you’re up for a short drizzly visit. Wishing you all a blessed day!
We invite you to join us on:
Sunday, October 4th, 2026 from 1p-3p
at the Children’s Garden in Columbia Memorial Park
12005 Clarksville Pike (rt.108) Clarksville, MD
For:
Our Annual Walk to Remember Memorial Service
In honor of those babies who have been lost during pregnancy or after birth.
Family and Friends are welcome! The ceremony will include a short (voluntary) walk, poetry readings, service and candle lighting. Reception to follow. Dessert donations welcome. While there is some seating available, we encourage you to consider bringing a chair with you. This year’s theme is the Moon.
In case of rain* and as an opportunity to share with others who cannot attend the in-person event, a pre-filmed version of the program will be posted for viewing on this page beginning Oct.4th. The video link posted will remain up for viewing for the remainder of the year. You can find previous years’ films below as well.
*** 2026 Walk to Remember Rain plan****
In the case of a cancellation due to rain, this website will state that cancellation. And the ceremony will then only be viewable as a pre-recorded ceremony. The link to that pre-recorded ceremony will be posted below. However, if you would like to come to the Children's Garden to pick up your printed program and pin, Amanda will be present at the same time as the scheduled event- October 4th 1p-2p, handing out these items "drive-by style". If you are unable to come to the drive-by and would like to have these items, you may email Amanda at adeane3@jhmi.edu to schedule a pickup from the hospital.
