“

Life after the NICU seems impossible when you have to leave your baby at the hospital after giving birth. You’re in such a dark place, and feel so lost in the drive back and forth visiting everyday. The Superhero Gala represents hope. It is a reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel. For me it’s also a way to give back. It shines a little light to the next family getting ready to leave the hospital without their baby, showing them that there is life after the NICU.
-Jaclyn Schenk, NICU Parent
