Shining a light on maternal health in Katie's memory

Shine Her Light raises awareness of maternal health complications including preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome while supporting families through education and events.

Who We Are

Our foundation raises funds to support mothers in need and advance maternal health initiatives. Each donation honors the legacy of Katie Harrington, our angel who tragically lost her life to postpartum complications.

Katie was an extraordinary woman whose light brightened everyone around her. Even as a child, she lifted others up and dreamed of supporting teen mothers, knowing that too many young women face motherhood without the support of a village. Through our work, we continue her mission of compassion, care, and community.

Since Katie’s passing, we have learned more about the critical gaps in maternal health. Our foundation is committed to raising awareness, supporting research, and funding programs that improve maternal care, aiming to prevent other families from experiencing the heartbreak we endured.

Join us for a night filled with connection, dinner, dancing, and purpose — all in honor of Katie’s light and the work that continues because of her story.

Funds raised at An Evening to Shine directly support maternal health education, survivor‑led advocacy, provider training, and partnerships that uplift moms and families in our community.
