The evening will begin with a memorial service at The Common to honor and support families and friends grieving loved ones. Grief resources will be available throughout the event. Following the service, we will walk in procession to Park Square for the Reading of the Names and a moving candlelight vigil to shine light on lives that mattered and stories that continue to inspire us.
✨ Families and friends are invited to send names and photos of loved ones to be included in the remembrance: [email protected]
Names and Photos need to be in byWednesday August 26th for inclusion
This event is free and open to all — families, friends, allies, and community members. Together, we break the silence, reduce stigma, and honor the lives of those gone too soon.
“Each name we read is a reminder that every life mattered, every story deserves to be remembered, and no family should carry this grief alone.” – Julie MacDonald, Program Director, Living in Recovery
💜 Please join us as we remember, grieve, and stand united in love and compassion.
