Join us Saturday, August 31st, 2024, for the 1st Annual Overdose Awareness day - Breaking Down the Stigma 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Walk as we honor lives lost to drug overdose. The CDC estimated 107,543 U.S. drug overdose deaths in 2023. While this is a 3% decline from 110,029 deaths in 2022, this is 295 deaths per day. We will run and walk to remember those lives, as well as raise awareness.
