10,000 Candles for New Hampshire
Sat, 8/29, from 7pm-10pm (ET).
This event, which normally takes place in person, is happening virtually this year. This event celebrates recovery, spreads hope, emphasizes the importance of connection, and pays tribute to those we've lost due to substance use disorder. It is truly a beautiful experience, and this year you can access it with just a few clicks. Read on to learn more from the event creators, Matt Conway and TJ Murphy:
"We're excited to be producing 10,000 Candles for New Hampshire again this year. We are doing a livestream broadcast concert and remembrance streaming live on Facebook from a professional studio in Derry, NH. It's happening on August 29th, 2020 from 7pm to 10pm. There are several fantastic speakers sharing hope, recovery and connection as well as some excellent musical performances.
