The Elaine Symone Foundation Holiday Campaign 2025

Giving Grace. Celebrating Joy. Bringing Hope to Every NICU Journey.

It is an opportunity for us to wrap NICU families in love, support, and compassion, especially those spending their baby’s first holidays in the NICU.

Our Holiday Mission

This season, our goal is simple, powerful, and full of heart:

To meet families exactly where they are, in the NICU and beyond, and ensure that no parent feels alone during the holidays.

Through our Holiday Campaign, we are blessing families with:

  • 🎁 Holiday Care Packages

  • 💳 Gift cards + gas cards

  • 🍼 Formula, diapers, wipes, and essential baby items

  • 🍽️ Holiday meals for families in need

  • 💟 Prayer, encouragement, and emotional support

  • 🤝 Connection to local and national resources

  • 💜 Support to any family navigating hardship, even outside the NICU, through our new ‘Beyond the NICU’ arm

We know the holidays can be heavy for families walking through medical uncertainty, financial pressure, or unexpected hardship. Our foundation is here to lift the load.

Partnering With Presbyterian Hospital (Novant Health) – Charlotte, NC
