Fallen Leaf Fundraiser 2026

Come join us for the 2026 Fallen Leaf Fundraiser.

For over 58 years, Sudden Infant Death Services (SIDS) of Illinois, Inc. has stood as a beacon of hope for families across our state. Today, sudden and unexpected infant death remains the leading cause of infant mortality in Illinois. Behind every statistic is a family whose world has been forever changed, and we are dedicated to ensuring no one walks that path alone.

Why Your Presence Matters

This October, we invite you to join us for the Fallen Leaf Fundraiser. This evening is dedicated to fueling The Lifeline Fund—the essential bridge between our current capacity and the rising needs of our Illinois communities.

Your support allows us to maintain our two-pillar mission at zero cost to those who need it most:

• Prevention: Providing evidence-based safe sleep training for families, caregivers, and first responders.

• Healing: Offering a lifeline of peer-to-peer mentoring and immediate crisis resources for bereaved families.

Join us in saving lives. Together, we can ensure every baby has a tomorrow.
