About this Event

What if honest drug education and community action could help create a safer, healthier future for the next generation?

Join us during Red Ribbon Week for a special community Open House focused on drug prevention, youth empowerment and practical solutions to today’s substance abuse crisis.

This inspiring event will highlight the work of Foundation for a Drug-Free World and community partners dedicated to educating youth and families about the realities of drug abuse through factual, prevention-based education.

Guests will explore educational exhibits, multimedia presentations and practical resources designed to help parents, educators and community leaders address the growing impact of drugs—including fentanyl, marijuana normalization and youth substance abuse.
