Lights of Hope

  • Pierce Park 1035 West Prospect Avenue Appleton, Wisconsin, 54914 United States (map)

The 8th Annual Wisconsin Lights of Hope is a Recovery Celebration and Memorial Walk honoring our loved ones impacted by Substance Use Disorder (SUD). We gather to remember loved ones, stand with recoverees to celebrate their recovery and to support families and friends who lost loved ones. 

We will stroll around the trails at Pierce Park to reflect on people's lives by viewing the Memorial Signs and you will also see Recoveree Signs--recovery is entirely possible and everyone is encouraged to remember there are multiple pathways to recovery. 

12:30pm- Register, brose vendors, make a button, Narcan training

1:00pm - Walk begins

2:00pm - Speakers and food served

Finishes with a candle lighting

There will be resource vendors, raffle baskets, kids' activities, rock painting and if you haven't already had a Tombstone made of your loved one who is no longer here, we will have some available for you to make a Tombstone of your loved one for next year's Trail of Truth. Bring along a picture of your loved one. We have templates to follow and materials are provided. Let us know prior to the Walk that you plan on painting a Tombstone.
