Survivors of Gun Violence Memorial

The Alachua County Victim Services and Rape Crisis Center, in partnership with IMPACT GNV, invites residents to the annual Survivors of Gun Violence Memorial on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Squirrel Ridge Park (1603 SW Williston Road, Gainesville).

This memorial is dedicated to honoring those whose lives have been impacted by violence. Together, they hope to create a space for remembering the past and hope for the future.

The event will feature local community resources, light refreshments, an art activity and guest speakers.

"Gun violence harms us all, and our goal is to spend the morning reflecting on this impact," said Cassandra Moore, program manager for Alachua County Community Support Services. "Not only does it impact us all, it will take all of us to end gun violence."

This memorial is part of a series of events recognizing Gun Violence Awareness Month. Residents are encouraged to subscribe to the City of Gainesville's IMPACT GNV's mailing list to be notified about other upcoming events.
