MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Dozens of Milwaukee families turned out Friday, April 18 for the "Victory Over Violence Free Community Easter Egg Hunt," an early holiday event aimed at uniting children and families despite light morning rain.
The event was organized through a partnership between the Milwaukee School of Engineering and the Lil’ Jeannetta Robinson Gifts of Love program. It welcomed children ages 12 and under to search for more than 1,000 hidden Easter eggs.
Organizers said the event was designed not only as a celebration but also as a show of community strength in an area impacted by violence.
"There are so many negative things going on in the city," said Rev. Charles Walton. "There comes a time when we have to do something positive. I always say that every time a group or individual commits a positive act against violence, we achieve victory over violence."
Following the turnout, organizers said they intend to make the event an annual tradition.
