About the event
A Call to Action for Violence Prevention and Community Healing
The UMADAOP (Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program) of Franklin County’s Tree of Life Event stands as a beacon of hope, unity, and resilience within the community. Rooted in over 40 years of dedicated violence prevention and family strengthening, this event offers a powerful response to the ongoing challenges of poverty, addiction, and violence that affect so many.
Bringing the Community Together
At the heart of the Tree of Life Event is a passionate call to action to end violence in all its forms. This initiative brings together families, community members, advocates, and key officials, uniting them in a shared purpose: to take a stand against violence, honor those whose lives have been cut short by senseless acts, and envision a safer, healthier future for all.
