Vigil

The Annual Candlelight Vigil will be held 6:15p, Thurs., Oct. 27th, 2011 at John Dam Plaza in Richland, WA.

DVS is hosting our 9th annual Candlelight Vigil to raise awareness and honor survivors in our community.  The event features 32 life-size silhouettes representing every victim killed as a result of domestic violence in our community since 1998.  Friends and family are invited to memorialize the silhouette of their loved ones.

WSU Women’s Success Program will be holding a “Walking Fearless Rally” rally at 5:15pm at John Dam Plaza on 10/27/11 (just prior to vigil).  For more information, contact: Alexis Chavallo at alexis.chavallo@email.wsu.edu.

Since 1998, 23 women, 5 men and 3 children have been murdered as a result of domestic violence in the Tri-City area! Learn more about domestic violence related homicides in WA.

Friends and family members will have the opportunity to memorialize and decorate the silhouettes of their loved ones.
