About Us

The Western NY Chapter of Star Legacy Foundation was established in March 2018 and is located in Rochester, NY. We are a team of individuals who are passionate about supporting families and medical professionals regarding all aspects of pregnancy and infant loss.

We are always looking for volunteers and greatly appreciate all of the volunteers we currently have. Please contact us if you are interested in joining our team! We would be honored to have you.

Chapter Mission

• Support families who experience any type of pregnancy or infant loss
• Partner with the medical community regarding pregnancy and infant loss (free support materials, provide free/low cost education, etc.)
• Raise awareness and provide education for safer pregnancy
• Advocate for legislation that will support pregnancy and infant loss
• Encourage families to participate in the Pregnancy Research Project 
• Honor your babies with you by adding them as a star or creating a memorial page in their memory

Chapter Projects

• Book libraries for babies who pass away (currently in 13 hospitals across Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse)
• Peer support and virtual support groups for families who experience pregnancy or infant loss
• Education for medical professionals
• Fundraising events (golf tournament and gala)
