An inspiring evening celebrating the strength of mothers and the power of community.
Join us for a meaningful evening of film, reflection, and community as we explore the resilience and advocacy of mothers through the documentary Butterfly in a Blizzard.
This special screening will benefit New Moms, a Chicagoland nonprofit dedicated to supporting young mothers and their children as they build strong and stable futures.

About the Event
Motherhood is powerful. It is joyful, exhausting, transformative, and often invisible.
Yet many mothers face these challenges alone in systems that were not designed with their needs in mind.
Butterfly in a Blizzard tells the remarkable story of professional snowboarder Kimmy Fasani, who navigates motherhood, illness, and the fight to change an industry that did not fully support women balancing athletic careers and family life.
Her story reminds us that when mothers are supported, their potential—and the impact they have on the world—can be limitless.
This evening invites us to reflect on the strength of mothers everywhere and to consider how communities can create opportunities for mothers to thrive—not just survive.

Why Support Matters
This year, we watched mothers compete on the Olympic stage, demonstrating extraordinary strength, resilience, and dedication.
But the truth is that mothers everywhere show that same strength every day.
For some mothers, however, the barriers are much greater.
Organizations like New Moms are working to change that by providing housing, job training, and family support for young mothers as they build stable futures for themselves and their children.
This event celebrates the potential of every mother and invites us to support the systems that help them succeed.
