Night of Hope is a free event for all people including kids. There is a large parking lot, a kids park, and outdoor public bathrooms.

Family Activities including rock painting, making a luminary for a loved one, and submitting your loved ones name for a Trail of Truth memorial cemetery art installation.
Trail of Truth is an artistic event started by Truth Pharm with a powerful purpose to memorialize our loved ones lost to substance use related causes, while using the magnitude of our collective loss to create change.
On 9/27/25, SMHR will join Truth Pharm in our nation's capital for Trail of Truth National. NC's stones will join more than 4,000 loved ones on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
