“This candlelight vigil honors the resilience of victims and survivors and allows us to reflect on the successes organizations like NOVA have been able to achieve in the area of victims’ rights,” said Stephanie Shantz, victim advocate coordinator. “It also is a reminder of the work that needs to be done to prevent crime and violence from happening in our community.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to view an exhibit of survivor artwork and participate in interactive art stations.
