Empowering New Yorkers to #SaveALife

Drug overdoses have reached an all-time high during the ongoing opioid crisis. In 2016 alone, there were 1,374 unintentional drug overdose deaths in New York City, a staggering 46% increase from the prior year.

CONSIDER THIS: A New Yorker dies from an overdose every 7 hours.

We are doing our part to address this epidemic - by launching the #SaveALife campaign.

Through #SaveALife, we plan to raise $5,000 to train 100 New Yorkers on how to spot the signs of an overdose and administer naloxone, a lifesaving drug that reverses opioid overdose. A generous board member has already committed to matching the first $2,000 that we raise.
