Light up a landmark
Be part of a powerful global display for overdose awareness
On August 31 each year, landmarks across the world light up purple for International Overdose Awareness Day.
It’s a powerful global tribute to lives lost, and a call to action against the growing overdose crisis.
By lighting up the night, we send a clear message: overdose is preventable, and together, we’re committed to saving lives.
