The Carve for Carson began 11 years ago after the unexpected death of a 17 month old child during his morning nap, on October 25th 2012, from what is known as Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).  In the days of shock and disbelief that followed our family surrounded us, and on the following Saturday brought pumpkins to carve together in our driveway.  In his brief time with us, Carson was known as our "little pumpkin;" he was always smiling, so full of joy, and seemed to have a way of bringing people together.  This seems to be his legacy.

Since that first year, the Carve for Carson event has grown to a gathering of over 80-100 family, friends and neighbors who gather together to remember and honor Carson's memory on the last Sunday in October.

This year we are inviting ALL of Westford and surrounding communities to spend an afternoon carving pumpkins and enjoying family time.  We will have pumpkin carving (bring your own pumpkin to carve ) station, please enjoy this time with your child as you carve your pumpkin together (adult supervision is required).
