Events
Each year AVA organizes a variety of events to raise awareness about and support for AVA's valuable services. We also hold events specifically tailored to promote healing among survivors of crime and their families.
5K in October (date TBD)
This October, AVA will host a 5K run/walk in the City of Atlanta to celebrate our 40th anniversary! Check back as more details will be posted in the upcoming months.
Community Vigils
Each December we hold a heartwarming Celebration of Life Candlelight Vigil, honoring victims and their families.
We invite you to attend this impactful event, stand in solidarity with survivors, and contribute to creating a safer, more compassionate Atlanta for all. More details will be posted in the coming months.
Support Groups
We facilitate homicide support groups to help grieving family members cope with the loss of a loved one due to crime. Loss is a deeply personal experience and in some cases when no arrest is made or the perpetrator isn’t identified, loved ones can experience long-lasting grief with no sense of closure. For many, these groups provide a source of comfort and healing for months and even years. Contact us for more information.
