Description

NOPE of Hillsborough hosts its Annual Candle Light Vigil October 19, 2017 at 6 pm at Hillsborough High School. This event helps raise the awareness of addiction and honors those who have lost their lives or loved ones to overdose death.

Event Details

This powerful one hour community event will be held at Hillsborough High School, located at 5000 N Central Ave, Tampa, FL 33603. Admission and parking are free.

The vigil is held in memory of those who have lost their lives due to drug and alcohol related incidents, to honor those who have lost a loved one to accidental overdose death, and to help those suffering from the disease of addiction.

The emcee for this special evening will be Brendan McLaughlin, former ABC Action News Anchor/Reporter, writer, performer, and explorer. Our speakers will share words of hope and encouragement about fighting the epidemic of accidental overdose deaths that has taken hold of our nation, state, and community.

Songs and stories will be shared before we move outside to the school’s front lawn to light candles in honor of those lives lost to substance abuse. If you would like to add your loved one’s story and photo to this year’s Memorial Wall please bring it to the Vigil at 6 pm.
This event is free. All are welcome. Plenty of free parking is available at Hillsborough High School. Contact Beth Butler at 813.244.1432 or NOPEHillsborough@gmail for further information.
