August 21 is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.
There are multiple organizations and agencies that recognize fentanyl awareness and prevention through different national awareness days and initiatives. At DOITFORJACK, we stand with anyone doing the work to educate young people, families and communities about the dangers of illicit fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
There is room for all of us in this fight. The more conversations we have, the more people we educate, and the more lives we have the opportunity to save..
We believe in the work the DEA is doing to educate communities about fentanyl, which is why DOITFORJACK is recognizing and promoting August 21 - National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.
For us, fentanyl awareness also has a name.
Jack.
Jack was just 24 years old when his life was taken by illicit fentanyl. His death changed our family forever - and became the reason behind DOITFORJACK.
Since then, we have made it our mission to educate young people, parents, schools and communities about the dangers of illicit fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
We share Jack’s story because we believe education can save lives.
We believe conversations matter.
And we believe every young person deserves to understand the very real dangers of illicit fentanyl.
On August 21, we join families, organizations and agencies across the country in remembering the lives lost and continuing the work to prevent another family from experiencing this loss.
For Jack. For every family. For the lives we can still save.
