Lake Eola Goes Purple to Honor Crime Victims

Posted on April 9, 2018

MEDIA ADVISORY

WHAT: In commemoration of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW), Lake Eola will honor Florida crime victims and the Marsy’s Law for Florida effort by lighting the park’s signature fountains in purple for one night on Monday, April 9, at 5:59 p.m. The color represents Floridians who have been victimized by violent crime, recognizing their bravery and reminding them they are not alone. Championed by victims, families, advocates and elected officials, Marsy’s Law for Florida is a proposed constitutional amendment (CRC Proposal 96) to provide crime victims and their families with clear, enforceable rights in our state constitution.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week raises awareness of victims’ rights for one week during April. This year, NCVRW’s theme is “Expand the Circle: Reach All Victims” – emphasizing the importance of ensuring all crime victims, regardless of age, race, gender or sexual orientation, have access to services and support. By celebrating NCVRW, Marsy’s Law for Florida hopes to educate Floridians about the gap that currently exists in our justice system, which ultimately leaves crime victims feeling voiceless and alone.

WHEN: Monday, April 9
5:59 p.m. through 11:59 p.m.

WHERE: Lake Eola
512 East Washington Street
Orlando, Florida 32801
