Ceremony Will Commemorate Lives Lost to Drug Addiction
In an effort to commemorate International Overdose Awareness Day, a global event aimed to raise awareness on drug and opioid overdose, Surviving Our Ultimate Loss (S.O.U.L.) is inviting residents to attend a remembrance ceremony to honor the lives lost to drug addiction.
The event, which will be held in Justice Plaza at the Montgomery County Circuit Court Aug. 30th, will allow family members and friends the chance to remember their loved ones and light candles in their honor.
In addition to a candlelight vigil, a resource fair featuring substance abuse prevention and treatment information will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Free parking will be available in the jury parking lot located at the corner of East Jefferson and Monroe Streets.
Residents who want to have a loved one memorialized in a video can send up to 10 photos, with the name, date of birth and date of death to mcrememberingourlovedones@gmail.com by Aug. 23.
