This years Crime Survivors 8th Annual Health and Safety Expo 5K was held Saturday October 8 at the Orange County Regional Training Center in Tustin. The event was held by Crime Survivors Inc. whose mission is to ensure the public knows victims’ rights and needs and to provide resources, support, and information to empower crime victims to survive and thrive.
Starting bright at early Saturday morning Crime Survivors began registering their over 1000 participants for the 8th annual Health and Safety Expo 5K. This years numbers almost doubled over those last year including approximately 1500 attendees, 130 vendors and about 108 volunteers. After a wonderful invocation by Jim Palmer several speakers took a moment moments to introduce both themselves and discuss victims rights with the crowd. There was then the Dove Release honoring those survivors and victims of violent crimes. The dove releases is a very emotional and touching tribute to surviving and thriving.
Patricia Wenskunas, founder of Crime Survivors Inc has already announced the date for next years event, October 6, 2012.
