The Syrup Stampede to benefit Empty Arms Bereavement Support features a 5k race, 2k fun run/walk, and pancake breakfast with local maple syrup. Our fifth annual Stampede will take place April 7, 2024 at Look Park. 

Empty Arms Bereavement Support is a Western Massachusetts-based non-profit organization offering resources and support to families across the region who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.

Syrup Stampede donations, registration fees, and sponsorships provide one-third of the funds Empty Arms uses each year to serve hundreds of families facing loss. Every dollar counts. Thank you!

Empty Arms Bereavement Support serves individuals and families in Western Massachusetts whose babies have died through miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant death, or termination for medical reasons. By cultivating personal connections, creating a compassionate community, and fostering professional collaborations, we provide grieving parents with valuable resources and validation as they navigate the murky days, weeks, and lifetime without their baby.
