Dispelling the Darkness 2024

Each year, RSAC hosts an annual Candlelight Vigil to honor survivors. Our Candlelight Vigil is an awareness event that raises awareness & funds to support RSAC's free services for survivors of sexual assault & abuse in our communities in Winnebago, Boone & Ogle Counties.

We welcome you to support survivors in your community by purchasing a candle for a $5 donation, sponsoring our event, or attending in person. Thank you for supporting survivors.
