About the event

International Overdose Awareness Day
🎗️ International Overdose Awareness Day 2025: #OneBigFamily 🎗️

Hope Above Fear is proud to host our 3rd Annual IOAD event in partnership with Valerie’s House, and this year, we’re coming together stronger than ever. Joining us will be many organizations from the NWF Safepath Network!

💜 This year’s theme: #OneBigFamily
Because ending overdose takes all of us.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
🔹 Live music
🔹 Food trucks
🔹 Graffiti wall for youth expression
🔹 Crafts & games for kids
🔹 Memorial lawn + picture wall
🔹 Guest speakers starting at 6:30pm
🔹 Free Narcan + local resources from the NWF Safepath Network partners including Florida Department of Health, CDAC, Lakeview, Offentsive, Celebrate Recovery, NAMI, Charis House, & EscaRosa Suicide Prevention Coalition.

🕊️ Whether you’ve experienced loss, survived an overdose, have a loved one still battling with substance use disorder, or simply care deeply about this cause—this space is for you. JOIN US!

Let’s talk about it. No more shame. No more silence.

💬 Whether you’ve lost someone you love too soon or would like to share your own story of struggle and survival, your story holds power. It reminds others they’re not alone—and it could help someone else find hope. Together we heal.
