Raise Your Glass is always a favorite of the CaringMatters community. Join us for the 11th Annual Raise Your Glass, Tuesday, May 20, 2025, to enjoy delicious wine and food, great raffle prizes, and live music - all at an incredibly picturesque and welcoming venue. The evening is the perfect opportunity to make new connections and learn more about CaringMatters' positive impact in the community. All of the funds raised will help ensure access to our free compassionate support services for those in Montgomery County facing serious illness, caregiving challenges, end-of-life, loss and grief.

Virtual Raise Your Glass 2021
During our live 2021 Raise Your Glass program, we featured two of our clients, Gilda and Michelle, whose families have participated in our Children's Bereavement Support programs, including Good Grief Clubs, Family Nights and our Parenting While Grieving Online Workshop. We are grateful that they shared their stories and proud to have them in our CaringMatters family. Their strength and grace inspires us to continue working diligently to reach families in our community in need of compassionate support. View their stories from the program below.
