Overdose Awareness Vigil Scheduled for August 31
Cortland County’s 2nd annual Overdose Awareness Remembrance Vigil will be held on Wednesday, August 31 at Courthouse Park in Cortland, on International Overdose Awareness Day. The event will start at 7pm.
Healing Hearts Collaborative with Healing Cortland, Prevention Network of CNY, Southern Tier AIDS Program, Inc., and the Central Region Addiction Resource Center are hosting the event. Last year, we had over 130 people in attendance and are hoping for even more this August. Come be with others that understand the loss, honor the ones we love that have passed, and come raise awareness with us! Did you know that 295 people are dying a day from drug overdose?
