On this Thanksgiving we want to express our sincere gratitude to the organizations, communities, and individuals in the Latinx community who have come together to help spread our message. With the dedicated support of our compassionate donors, EVERYONE has access to the quality resources we offer.

Thank you Peachjar for sharing our story and helping us spread awareness. ????

Thank you to Lisa Schroeder, Mother's Bistro executive chef and owner, for hosting our "Meet Song for Charlie" event in Portland on Thursday. It was a powerful night discussing the impact fentanyl is having on Oregon's youth and Song for Charlie's partnership with Trillium Community Health Plan to launch the New Drug Talk Oregon Program. Community leaders, included Portland Mayor-elect Keith Williams, Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day, and incoming Oregon AG Dan Rayfield, shared their interest in protecting Oregon families against fentanyl and discussed how we can work together to educate our community.

Feeling grateful for the schools who have invited us to share our lifesaving message ??. With the continued support of our compassionate donors, we can visit even more schools in 2025.

Nearly 100 supporters, donors, and families impacted by the fentanyl crisis gathered at our recent partner appreciation events in Connecticut and New York City. In New York, SFC consultant Marcia Lee Taylor, as well as our partners Jennifer Stout from Snap and Jon Coyles from Major League Baseball, shared kind words about the work we’re doing together. Other notable attendees include Dr. Hina Talib, and drug policy expert Kevin Sabet. These gatherings sparked important conversations about end-of-year giving, corporate partnerships, and sustainable support for our mission. We were especially moved to reconnect with supporters who first joined us at a similar New York event two years ago—a testament to the lasting connections our mission continues to build. Special thanks to our hosts, Susan and Bill Lattimer, for making these events possible and so meaningful.
