The 22nd Judicial Circuit Family Violence Coordinating Council will present a Candlelight Vigil in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and will include entertainment by Just Duet and Julie Gibson.
The purpose of the event is to remember those who have been hurt or who have died at the hands of someone they know. Speakers will give first-hand accounts of their experiences as a way to call attention to the devastation that domestic violence can cause individuals, their families and friends.
Other sponsors of the candlelight vigil are: McHenry County College, Centegra Health System, McHenry County Crisis Services, Direct Counseling, McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association, McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office, VOICE Sexual Assault program, and Turning Point.
The vigil will be held in rain or shine.
