Angel Tree Ceremony

Victim Assistance Program’s Annual Angel Tree Ceremony will be held on Monday, December 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM. Join us as community members, friends, and family members of homicide victims come together to honor the memory of over 1,000 victims lost in Summit County due to violence over the last 25 years.

The event will also be live streamed on Victim Assistance Program’s Facebook page – facebook.com/victimassistanceprogram – and a recording of the program will be available on the agency’s YouTube channel and website. If you are joining us virtually, you can follow along with the event by visiting victimassistanceprogram.org/angel-tree and downloading the event program, which will be posted on December 6, 2021.

Prior to the event, family members and friends are encouraged to contribute a photo of their loved one for the memorial video and Wall of Remembrance by calling Victim Assistance Program at 330.376.7022 ext. 218 or emailing their photo with their loved one’s information to [email protected].

The Angel Trees and the Wall of Remembrance will be displayed at the Akron-Summit County Public Library, 60 South High Street in Akron, throughout the month of December. Family members and friends are encouraged to visit the display to view their loved ones’ angel ornaments, which will be placed on the trees with care, by Victim Assistance Program advocates.
