5th Annual Overdose Awareness Day Event


We are 2 weeks away from our 5th Annual Overdose Awareness Day Event. We have some exciting news to share with you about the event. With the theme for this year being "One Big Family" we want friends, family and loved ones to come out to this event as we reflect on those who are no longer with us, celebrate our people in recovery and support those who are still on their addiction journey.

This event is for everyone!

If you lost a loved one to addiction, we encourage you to honor their memory by bringing a poster with their picture on it or wearing a t-shirt in their memory.

A few highlights...

  • Our keynote speaker this year is a seasoned entrepreneur, transformational wellness coach, author and CEO of Cycle Breakers, LLC Diane Langford James.
  • Come listen to impactful stories shared by one of our TOTF member's Alyssa Frates-Rozniewski and Matt Rodrigues from Recovery Court.
  • We will have spoken word and a musical performance by Mike DeNatale.
  • Nate Daniels will be providing music for us while we network, chat and chew.
  • Refreshments will be provided by FLVR Food Truck, Gonzalez Food Truck, Kay's Ice Cream and Aroma Joe's.
  • Game Truck for the kiddos and the young at heart provided by Platinum City Gaming.

There will be 30+ resource table vendors that offer programs, supports, services and treatment options for various walks of life and meeting people where they're at.

We hope to see you and your family there!
