MANATEE--In memory of all the young men and women that have been taken too soon from their families and loved ones.

You too can remember them and others on Thursday, October 28th at 6:30 p.m. The Red Ribbon Candlelight Vigil is intended to remember lives lost to substance abuse, whether to an overdose or killed by a drunk driver. The vigil serves as a reminder of the importance of substance abuse prevention, education and treatment. Everyone is invited to attend and those that have lost a loved one are encouraged to bring a photograph with them to post. The event is on the steps outside of the Manatee County Judicial Center: 1051 Manatee Avenue West, Bradenton.
