Remembrance Walk
Throughout the year, SGM hosts a number of events centered around families touched by loss. The largest event is the Race for Grace PAIL and Remembrance 5k Walk/Run. This event is located at the SGM Headquarters in Deshler, Ohio and includes an opportunity to do a mile long walk around the Deshler Reservoirs which is lined with Remembrance signs and a baby name reading, where we are able to remember our sweet babies together!
