6th Annual Butterfly Release A life-affirming expression of hope and peace, our Butterfly Release is a unique opportunity to honor loved ones, both living and deceased, by sponsoring a butterfly in their name. Butterflies herald the return of spring and the renewal of life. Their release signifies freedom and happiness. The highlight of the Butterfly Release is the mass release and flight of 200 Monarch butterflies accompanied by live flute and harp music.
Sponsorships support Hospice of the Rapidan’s grief care program, which provides free, comprehensive grief support for anyone who has lost a loved one, regardless of hospice affiliation. Services include individual and telephone support, grief support groups, printed information, and services tailored to the special needs of children. Medicare and private insurance do not reimburse Hospice of the Rapidan for the cost of these services, which are entirely funded by support from the communities we serve. |
Members of the community are invited to sponsor butterflies in memory of loved ones or to honor someones special. No prior hospice affiliation is necessary. Sponsorship is $25 per butterfly and includes free admission to the Annie DuPont Formal Garden and recognition of the names of those honored in the Butterfly Release program. Sponsors of 3 or more butterflies will receive a handsome picture frame commemorating the event.
