National Fentanyl Awareness Day

Now in its third year, National Fentanyl Awareness Day brings together individuals, parents, teachers, corporations, influencers, community groups, and government entities to help put an end to this emergency.

Last year, over 70,000 Americans were poisoned by illegally made fentanyl. Fentanyl is now found in fake pills and street drugs, but users are often unaware that their drugs contain the potent opioid. This is an urgent public health crisis that puts all of us, and our loved ones, at risk. We all must play a role in preventing further tragedies.

Hope Above Fear has joined forces with Youths Left Behind and SWAT to host a FREE community event commemorating National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Join us for an evening filled with engaging activities, including dinner sponsored by Sonny's BBQ, music, door prizes, access to community resources, keynote speakers, and most importantly COMMUNITY AWARENESS.
