Indianapolis

Nationally, the day is celebrated Aug. 31, but in Indiana, Aug. 24 is set aside to increase awareness.

To honor Hoosier lives that have been lost, Indiana-based nonprofit Overdose Lifeline is looking forward to putting on on its eleventh annual Overdose Awareness Day Event at the Indiana State Museum and hosted families of lives lost to overdose.

The program features a meal together, a formal program, a candlelight vigil, and prevention resources.
