Avow Hospice will hold its annual Butterfly Release on Sunday, March 2, 2013 at Cambier Park in downtown Naples. The event, endowed by the Gorlach Family, features a live butterfly exhibit tent and community memorial service. The event includes live music by Johnny T, a volunteer bake sale, a public reading of names to memorialize loved ones, inspirational commentary and concludes with the release of over 600 butterflies.
The butterfly was selected as the primary symbolic representation for this event since it undergoes a major transformative process as part of its normal life cycle. The butterfly is a reminder of how beautiful, delicate and fragile life can be, and to remember to appreciate and be grateful for each moment. Many view it as a symbol of joy, happiness, of spring, rebirth and renewal. The butterfly evokes an image that is mild and gentle, one that can touch the heart during difficult times and one of strength.
Registration, walk-through exhibit and children's activities open at 9:00 a.m.; the service begins at 11:00 a.m. at the park band shell. To include a loved one's name to be read during the ceremony (in honor or in memory), a gift of $40 per name may be made to Avow Hospice; proceeds benefit end-of-life care in Collier County. Early registration is encouraged to ensure inclusion. A limited number of name registrations will be available prior to the start of the ceremony for a gift of $50. Early arrival is encouraged to allow for parking, check-in and exhibit tent visit. For details or to register, call (239) 649-3683.
