We received more than 970 entries of NICU grads of all ages into this year’s contest! These incredible NICU grads have a story to tell and are living proof of strength, resilience, and hope. Their journeys from tiny fighters to thriving superstars are so inspiring!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered, voted, and shared! Every dollar raised through this contest helps us keep Hand to Hold’s support services 100% free for NICU and bereaved families across the country. 100% of all proceeds directly benefit Hand to Hold, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit that provides vital support, educational resources and community for NICU parents.

Because of YOU, we’re able to provide emotional support, educational resources, and a loving community to those who need it most. See the winners below and view all entries here!
