  • About the event

    Prevention Links and The Health and Wellness Coalition of Union County will join together with community members to support substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery at the 17th Annual Union County Red Ribbon Day Drug Prevention Walk on Saturday, October 22, 2016 atNomahegan Park in Cranford. This event is a countywide kickoff celebrating Red Ribbon Drug Prevention Weekthroughout Union County. Red Ribbon is celebrated locally and nationally to increase awareness and support for substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery.

    Why should you sponsor?

    Last year, 781 people died of a drug related overdose. Most of them were between the ages of 18-25. Funds raised for this event will directly support initiatives to support individuals in recovery from addiction. Such programs include the Raymond J. Lesniak Experience, Strength, and Hope Recovery High School--New Jersey's first and, to date, only public recovery high school; Union County's emerging opioid overdose response initiative; the Experience, Strength, and Hope Mentor Program; and other initiatives. 

    Additionally, sponsors will be highlighted in promotional materials throughtout Union County leading to the event and at the event itself which draws several hundred NJ residents.
