Wear Orange Weekend

Wear Orange is a national campaign raising awareness about gun violence and advocating for gun safety, initiated to honor Hadiya Pendleton, a young woman tragically killed in a shooting. We are thrilled to celebrate Wear Orange Weekend on June 7th and 8th. 

We are excited to bring the community together for a family-friendly event focused on fun and engagement in light of the violence occurring locally and nationally. This weekend will be filled with joy, unity, and a proactive step towards providing positive initiatives aimed at deterring crime.

Join us for a series of events, including a community cleanup on June 7th and a basketball game featuring top streetball players HeziGod, Pattsoowavy, and Alabama's own Tray Croft. The weekend will culminate in a "Stop the Violence" block party, uniting the community with entertainment, resources, and delicious food.
