Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley will hold their annual Victim’s Rights Vigil on Wednesday April 26th 2023, at 6:00pm at the Tree of Life Memorial Grove, located at 3256 Chestnut Drive in Allentown. This event is open to the public, free of charge.
The Vigil will take place during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week and will commemorate this year’s theme, “Survivor Voices: Elevate. Engage. Effect Change.” Attendees will hear from Victim-Survivors as they each take the podium to share their personal experiences and the impact that victimization has had on their lives. Additionally, all will stand in silence for the traditional Bell Ceremony to honor and remember each life that was taken as a result of violent crime. For more information please call the CVC office at 610-437-6610, or visit https://cvclv.org/vigil/ or https://www.facebook.com/CrimeVictimsCouncil/.
