Spend an evening at Cheeni in downtown Durham for Joy, Grief & Motherhood, an intimate benefit held on International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and supporting Equity Before Birth. Limited to just 70 guests, the night is designed for mixing, mingling, and connection. Chef Preeti and the Cheeni kitchen will serve a generous menu of chef-crafted bites throughout the evening, alongside cocktails and mocktails. A brief program of storytelling and conversation will make room for the joy, grief, and complicated experiences of pregnancy and motherhood that aren’t always talked about openly. Pregnancy, motherhood, joy, and loss touch all of us in different ways, whether through our own experiences or those of people we love. Whether these stories feel personal to you or you simply believe in showing up for mothers and families in our community, you are welcome. 100% of ticket sales benefit Equity Before Birth, a Durham-based nonprofit serving families in Durham and across the Triangle and working to remove financial barriers to care during pregnancy and early parenthood through paid leave scholarships, essential baby supplies, and partnerships with perinatal care providers.
