Gather Under The Stars | August 8th, 2025
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us on Friday, August 23rd at the historic Charles Gates Dawes House in Evanston, coming together as a community to honor and support birthparents, and to celebrate the tremendous growth and accomplishments of On Your Feet! We are grateful to each of you, for valuing our mission, and the critical work we do in post-placement care.
Thank you to last year's Gather sponsors!
Gather 2025 is coming up on Friday, August 8th, 2025 at 6:00 in the evening. We need your support so that we can continue to provide the care and support birthparents need and deserve.
Join us in Evanston for this year’s outdoor celebration, Gather Under The Stars, for a fun night of delicious food, cosmic-themed cocktails, astrology readings, live music, dancing, and stargazing, as we raise funds and awareness for birthparents and connect the constellation through stories of love, loss, grief, and hope.
Funds raised by this event are necessary for us to continue carrying out our mission of providing birthparents with the comprehensive support they deserve, including our new, groundbreaking Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD) Screening program. By removing barriers to care, we hope to end the silent suffering of birthparents and provide accessible, compassionate support at no cost to them. Your support also allows us to continue producing crucial adoption education resources that reflect the lived experiences of birthparents and adopted people in order to create better outcomes for both.
Demands for our services have grown annually and expanded nationwide since recognition for On Your Feet’s expertise in birthparent services remains unparalleled. Your sponsorship will allow On Your Feet to meet this demand, continue to grow our community, and disseminate our knowledge about the unique needs of birthparents following placement. On Your Feet is primarily funded by private donations which is why we rely on donors like you to enable our important work.
