The Francis Family has been honoring the memory of their son by hosting The Red Hat Event for the last 8 years. Nicholas Francis was born still just weeks before his due date and was named after St. Nicholas since his birthday was around the Christmas holiday. He was fittingly dressed in a red Santa hat that was originally knit with love for his older brother, Gavin. The Francis Family had the idea to start the Red Hat Event as a way to spread love in the spirit of Nicholas and connect with others in the pregnancy and infant loss community. The event has grown each year and has become a tradition for many families.

There will be photos with Santa and options to purchase gifts and holiday supplies from merchants (who are donating proceeds to Hope After Loss) as well as the opportunity to participate in the Red Hat Silent Auction. Sam Chinigo will be taking photos of families with Santa and Carlos Ribeiro will be back as the DJ.

AND... the Francis Family has arranged for a A BOOK SIGNED BY SANTA HIMSELF that he can give to your family during your photo session!  Signed books can also be mailed to you or donated to a CT hospital in memory of a special baby.

This year's book is:

All proceeds benefit Hope After Loss.
