Angel Tree memorializes lost loved ones
For the sixth year, Not One More Alabama (NOMA) is participating in the annual Tinsel Trail which officially opens Friday, November 25, 2022 at Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville. Tinsel Trail is a popular tourist destination during the holidays where local corporations, groups and families sponsor and decorate live Christmas trees that are displayed along Big Spring Park.
Each year NOMA's Angel Tree is one of the largest on the Trail and is adorned by beautiful faces of loved ones lost to overdose or addiction. It is our mission to provide families with an opportunity to memorialize the life of a family member taken by this epidemic. It is our hope that the tree will stand as a reminder that addiction crosses all barriers and impacts everyone. The Angel Tree is visited by hundreds of people during the holidays and provides a place of comfort for families to honor and remember their loved one.
Submissions for the 2022 Angel Tree Ended November 12. No additional submissions will be accepted at this time. However, you may submit an authorization form to add your loved one to the Memorial Page on our website. Please use the form below to submit a request for the memorial page. If you would like to have a loved one's photo on the 2023 Angel Tree, please watch for announcements in late September/early October for instructions on submitting an authorization form. Please make sure you have signed up to receive emails from NOMA to insure you are informed about important dates next year. You can sign up for our email list on our website at notonemorealabama.org
Please note: Due to privacy standards, only immediate family members (spouse, children, parents, grandparents and siblings) of the individual being remembered are permitted to have a photo on the tree or request a photo on the memorial page.

Candlelight Memorial set for Tuesday, December 13th
Not One More Alabama (NOMA) will once again host a Candlelight Memorial service at the Angel Tree at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 13th (weather permitting). Should we have a problem with weather, we will reschedule to Wednesday, December 14th at 6 p.m. Please mark your calendar and watch for updates about this very moving event on this page and on social media.
Become a Patron of the Angel Tree in 2023
UPDATE: The deadline for inclusion of donors names on the 2022 Angel Tree Sign on the Tinsel Trail was November 16. General donations are always accepted on our Donate Page. We will begin accepting donations for the Angel Tree Patron program again in September 2023. Please watch our social media pages or sign up for our emails to insure notification about this program.
Over the past six years, many people have asked, "How can we support the Angel Tree?" NOMA is a 501c3 non-profit organization and operates solely on generous donations from our community. The Angel Tree is extremely important to individuals who have lost loved ones, and stands each year as a reminder of the beautiful lives cut short by this disease. You can help offset the cost by becoming a Patron of the Angel Tree.
In 2017 after sponsoring the first Memorial Angel Tree, we quickly realized that we needed a larger tree. It's an unfortunate fact that Alabama has one of the highest overdose death rates in the country. Our community has not been spared by the epidemic, but we are among the first in Alabama to publicly recognize and support those impacted by the epidemic. We will not stop until there is Not One More Alabama.
Help us continue the tradition of honoring those lost to addiction by donating to Not One More Alabama. Those donating $50 or more will be included in signage alongside this year's tree. You can elect to remain anonymous as well.
