We were thankfully able to host a slightly scaled-down version of our annual Juliet Memorial Golf Tournament in 2021. However, we had to cancel Juliet's Gala due to COVID precautions.

Our Purpose & Mission
Our purpose is to improve the NICU experience for preemies and their families.
Our mission is to raise money and awareness of infant prematurity, primarily by supporting research and by funding programs and initiatives that comfort Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) patients and their families. In doing so, we are consistently motivated by the courage demonstrated by Juliet Grace. We strive to share that example so that she may motivate courage in your lives too.
We can't wait to see you!
The Fisher-Martin Family is yet another excellent example of why our foundation works so hard to support NICU infants and families. Hear their NICU journey in this touching video from Claritas Creative.
