Flowers On The Lake- Community Event
2025-10-14 18:00 - 19:00 | Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Park, 1776 Freedom Bldv, Conroe, TX, 77301
Join Us in Honoring Survivors & Remembering Victims – Flowers on the Lake 2025
On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, our community will come together for one of the most meaningful evenings of the year—Flowers on the Lake. This isn’t just an event. It’s a night where remembrance meets action, where hope takes root, and where our shared commitment to end domestic violence shines.
Each year, we release hundreds of purple carnations into the water—this year, 2,025 blooms will float gently across the lake, each one carrying a story of survival or a memory of a life lost too soon. The ripples carry more than petals; they carry our community’s promise to stand with survivors and to remember those who are no longer with us.
One survivor shared:

“I remember standing on the shore last year, clutching a flower in my hand. For the first time in a long time, I felt seen. I wasn’t just a statistic. I was part of a community that cared.”

That’s the power of this night. It’s a moment for us—as partners, advocates, and neighbors—to show up, to listen, and to renew our vow: no one faces this alone.
We would be honored if you would join us—and bring a friend, a colleague, or someone who needs to witness this moment of unity.

🌸 2,025 Flowers. 2,025 Stories. 💜
Every flower released at Flowers on the Lake represents a story. Some are stories of survival. Others, of loss. All are reminders of why we gather.
One first responder shared after last year’s ceremony: “We respond to the calls, but we rarely see the healing. That night, watching the flowers spread across the lake, I understood the power of community to carry survivors forward.”
On October 14, 2025, join us as we release 2,025 carnations in honor of survivors and victims of domestic violence.

They are overwhelmed by the generosity of strangers who provide holiday gifts for their families.

January is National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM)!

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month
2026-02-01 08:00 - 2026-02-28 17:00 | TX
Dating violence is more common than people think, especially among teens and young adults: one in three teens in the US will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before they graduate high school, and nearly half (43%) of college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors. Every February, young people and their loved ones join together across the country for a national effort to raise awareness about the issue of teen dating violence through Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM). This annual, month-long push focuses on advocacy and education to stop dating abuse before it starts.
