Again this year, Friends of Caroline will host “Release & Remember: A Community Butterfly Release,” a moving celebration of life, love, and remembrance, at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 26 at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.
This event invites community members to honor the memories of their loved ones by participating in a butterfly release over the Beaufort River. Each butterfly, available for purchase at $12, represents a tribute in memory or honor of someone special — a symbol of hope, transformation, and enduring love.
“We invite everyone to join us for a day of reflection, healing, and celebration,” Friends of Caroline President and CEO Lindsay Roberg said in a news release. “Our butterfly release is a touching tribute that not only honors those we have lost but also inspires hope for the future. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and the beauty of new beginnings.”
Since 1977, Friends of Caroline has been dedicated to providing quality-of-life care through compassionate palliative, hospice, and grief support services to the Lowcountry. Their mission is to offer hope, encouragement, and comprehensive care for individuals nearing the end-of-life journey, as well as for their families and friends.
