Dear Valued Recovery Community Partner,

This year's event will feature a comprehensive resource fair and a solemn vigil. It's an important occasion to acknowledge the profound impact of overdose on individuals, families, and our community. New this year, we have added Color for a Cause Run/Walk/Roll for Recovery!

We are committed to making this event accessible and beneficial for everyone. We'll have an array of resources available from various organizations dedicated to prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Free Brunch for Your Clients

Your presence, and that of your clients, will significantly contribute to the impact of this day. It's a chance to foster hope, share information, and strengthen our collective efforts to combat the overdose epidemic.
Please RSVP as soon as possible, and no later than August 22, 2026, by reserving your dinner tickets, registering for Color for a Cause, and registering for a table at the resource fair, so we can get an accurate headcount for planning purposes.
