Our Mission
Mamie's Poppy Plates is a donation supported non-profit whose mission is to provide tangible mementos to families who suffer stillbirth or infant death. Our keepsake plates, given to affected families at no charge, are customized with the baby's footprints, name, and birth information. Mamie's Poppy Plates exists not to fill the impossible void of loss but to serve as a timeless reminder of their baby's brief yet profound life.
Second Annual Race to Remember
Race to Remember is our second annual 5k. It will take place at Dickey Stephens Park in North Little Rock, Arkansas on June 22, 2013,
which is Mamie's birthday weekend and the third anniversary of Mamie's Poppy Plates. All proceeds from the race will benefit Arkansas
families who experience infant loss.
Families who lose children rarely, if ever, get an opportunity to publicly recognize their baby. Race to Remember gives them a chance to join together for a special occasion in memory of that special child. At last years' race, we anticipated about 300 registrants, but we were overjoyed to have 2,000 people in attendance from Arkansas and surrounding states. The $45,000 we raised has helped us expand by serving families in other states, purchasing our own kiln, hiring dedicated painters, and shipping all plates directly to families. Given last
years' enormous response, we expect to have an even larger turnout this year. As we move into 2013, we hope that, with your help, we'll continue to grow so that we can serve even more families across the state and the country.
Run/Walk In Memory
Run solo or form a team to walk or run in memory of a lost child. Blank bibs will be provided to acknowledge your loved one. Honor the memory of your child by participating in the biodegradable balloon release at the start of the race.
