Dallas, TX - June 10, 2023
Carter's Classic LLC is thrilled to announce the two inspiring charities that will be the beneficiaries of the 2023 Carter's Classic Golf Tournament: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and Rainbows for Makenna. These incredible organizations have dedicated themselves to providing support, healing, and hope to families who have experienced the heartbreaking loss of a baby.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep offers a precious gift of healing, hope, and honor to parents navigating the pain of losing a child. Through the powerful medium of remembrance portraits, professional-level photographers selflessly volunteer their time to create intimate and delicate black-and-white portraits. These portraits capture the fleeting moments parents spend with their babies, providing a lasting memory and a source of solace. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep ensures that grieving parents receive these portraits, expertly retouched, completely free of charge.
Rainbows for Makenna was born out of deep love and personal loss. Founded in memory of their daughter Makenna, who passed away at just 22 weeks and 6 days old after a four-day stay in the NICU, Rainbows for Makenna is committed to supporting families who have endured the pain of pregnancy or infant loss. With a focus on remembrance and unity, Rainbows for Makenna provides comfort boxes to these families, which include invaluable resources, books, and other items that offer solace during the grieving process. Their mission is to ensure that no family walks this difficult path alone, knowing that their precious babies will always be remembered.
The 2023 Carter's Classic Golf Tournament is honored to support these extraordinary charities and their vital work. The tournament, which brings together compassionate individuals and organizations from across the community, aims to raise funds and awareness to further the missions of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and Rainbows for Makenna.
"We are deeply humbled and grateful to partner with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and Rainbows for Makenna for the 2023 Carter's Classic Golf Tournament," said Andrew Campisi, Founder and President of Carter's Classic LLC. "Their dedication to providing solace, support, and resources to grieving families is truly remarkable. Together, we can make a profound impact and bring hope to those who need it most."
To support the efforts of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and Rainbows for Makenna, we invite individuals and businesses to contribute through donations to the Carter's Classic Golf Tournament.
