Thanks for Joining Us!
Raise Your Glass is always a favorite of the CaringMatters community and this year's 11th Annual Raise Your Glass on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 was no exception! We were thrilled to welcome over 250 members of our CaringMatters community (our highest attendance to date!) to Windridge Vineyards again this year for delicious wine and food, great raffle prizes, and live music. Thank you to our co-chairs, host committee and our featured speaker, Nick Dickenson, who shared his personal story and experience with CaringMatters Children's Bereavement Support Services. All of the funds raised will help ensure access to our free compassionate support services for those in Montgomery County facing serious illness, caregiving challenges, end-of-life, loss and grief.
We look forward to raising a glass with you again next year!

Virtual Raise Your Glass 2021
During our live 2021 Raise Your Glass program, we featured two of our clients, Gilda and Michelle, whose families have participated in our Children's Bereavement Support programs, including Good Grief Clubs, Family Nights and our Parenting While Grieving Online Workshop. We are grateful that they shared their stories and proud to have them in our CaringMatters family. Their strength and grace inspires us to continue working diligently to reach families in our community in need of compassionate support. View their stories from the program below.
