Join us on Saturday, August 29th, at 4:05 PM for a day of remembrance, hope, and community in the Heart of the Commonwealth. Overdose Awareness Night is a special event dedicated to honoring those we have lost, supporting those who are struggling, and raising awareness about overdose and substance use. All tickets include a $5 donation to The Sun Will Rise Foundation!

Resource tables from SADOD, The Sun Will Rise, Learn to Cope, Everyday Miracles, End Overdose Boston, SafeSpot Hotline, City of Worcester Health and Human Services, the YMCA, and more will be available outside on the Gate D Plaza beginning at 2:00 pm, then move to the inside concourse during the game. Speakers will share personal stories during our remembrance vigil between 2:00pm-3:15pm, followed by a butterfly release. The on-field ceremony, where loved ones will be honored, will take place around 3:30pm.

Let’s come together to break the stigma, spread awareness, and foster a community of support and understanding. Your presence makes a difference. 💜
