The annual Butterfly Release took place Sunday, October 11, at the Par Course at AdventHealth Shawnee Mission. Families were invited to remember their loved ones as October 15 marks the annual Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, which builds upon President Ronald Reagan's 1988 proclamation of October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Month.
