After all of the Walk Like MADD events in Denver, Greeley and Colorado Springs are over, these hand-decorated fabric strips are collected and tied together in order to create our Memorial Wreath.<\/p>\n<p>The Wreath is unveiled at our Candlelight Vigil events in November, where victims, families, friends and community members gather with law enforcement and community agencies to honor loved ones and to support one another. The Candlelight Vigil events include a tribute slideshow of Colorado victims and survivors of drunk and drugged driving crashes and a \u201cKigil,\u201d (or a Kids\u2019 Vigil) area for children to honor and remember their loved ones through art projects and crafts.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome you to join us at any of our Walk Like MADD events and stop by the tribute area to help us make this year\u2019s wreath one to remember.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about all of our Colorado Walk Like MADD events, please click&nbsp;here.
