What is the Butterfly Release?
Every year, the Near North Palliative Care Network organizes an open-air event to celebrate the life and memory of your loved ones. Participants have the opportunity to sponsor a butterfly and release it in honour and memory of a loved one who has passed away. The butterflies are delivered in especially tailored packages. These dark and cool conditions keep the butterflies in a comfortable resting state until the day of the release. Once the package is opened, the natural heat and light will awaken these sleeping beauties and inspire them to take flight. The event also includes musical performances, fabulous draw prizes, and a BBQ! To see photos from previous years, please check out the Photo Gallery page!
For a $35 donation, you will reserve one (1) butterfly. For $100, you will reserve three (3) butterflies. Reserving 4 or more butterflies discounts the cost to $30 per butterfly.
For example, 2 butterfly reservations cost $70. 4 butterfly reservations will cost $120. 10 butterfly reservations will cost $300.
Butterfly reservations are limited to our inventory, so please pre-order before July 12th!
