Joy, Grief, & Motherhood

Joy, Grief & Motherhood

An Evening Honoring the Stories We Don’t Always Tell

Join Grieve Leave and Equity Before Birth on International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day for Joy, Grief & Motherhood, an intimate benefit at Cheeni in downtown Durham supporting Equity Before Birth.

Limited to just 70 guests, the evening is intentionally designed for mixing, mingling, and conversation. Chef Preeti of Cheeni will serve a generous dinner of chef-crafted bites passed throughout the night, alongside cocktails and mocktails. A brief program of stories and conversation will be woven into the evening.

Pregnancy, motherhood, joy, and loss touch all of us in different ways, through our own experiences or those of people we love. Whether these stories feel personal to you or you simply believe in showing up for mothers and families in our community, we’d love to have you with us. 

100% of ticket sales will benefit Equity Before Birth, a Durham-based nonprofit serving families across the Triangle and working to remove financial barriers to care during pregnancy and early parenthood through paid leave scholarships, essential baby supplies, and partnerships with perinatal care providers.
