Annual Candle Light Vigil

In memory of those lost to drug and alcohol-related incidents and with hope for those suffering from the disease of addiction, NOPE Hillsborough holds an Annual Candle Light Vigil during every Red Ribbon Week. As intended when NOPE National Task Force created the nationwide event in 2007, the NOPE Vigil sheds light on the consequences our nation faces with the use of illegal and illicit drugs. We strive to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease of addiction so that those suffering may openly seek help.

 

October 7, 2021, is the date for this year’s NOPE of Hillsborough Candle Light Vigil.

 

Please mark your calendars to join us starting at 6:30 pm for the viewing of our Memorial Wall. Do you wish to have your loved one honored on our physical wall during the vigil held at Hillsborough High School? Visit our website’s Memorial Wall page, add your loved one’s photo there along with a message to them. We will print that off and add your loved one to our physical wall for this year’s annual vigil. In order to have your loved one’s photo on our Memorial Wall, we need your photo no later than September 23, 2021, please. You can bring a photo of your loved one to the vigil on October 7th and add it yourself to the wall that evening.

NOPE of Hillsborough is proud to offer a support group for anyone who has lost a loved one or friend to any drug or alcohol-related incident. Members come together to share their experiences of how they cope with the grief they carry from their loss. We exist to lend support – no one should walk alone with their grief. The group is non-professional and free to participants.
