SOFT’s annual conference is a place for families to connect with each other, learn new things in our forums, clinics, and workshops. Siblings enjoy meeting friends through activities and outings. We embrace our living trisomy children and remember all the angels who have gone too soon.

Annual SOFT Remembrance Outing
This year our remembrance outing will be held at the hotel. This will be for a time of sharing with each other about our journey. Angel families who schedule to come will join in a lunch on site. We will then share time making specialty candles in memory of our angels. We will also take the time to share our experiences together as we work and enjoy this special time together.

The SOFT Angel Memory Room is a Place for our families who “carry their child in their heart” to share precious memories of their child. We will have a special place for you to display photo albums or other memorabilia you want to share to help us get to know your child. Be sure to remove your special belongings prior to closure!
