Description

In 2021, 107,622 people died by drug poisoning in the United States. Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose than they are from a car accident or by gun. Fentanyl, the synthetic opioid most commonly found in fake pills, is the primary driver in this alarming increase in poisoning deaths. We hope you'll join us as we hear the stories of three Pickens County young men who are among those who lost their lives far too soon due to fentanyl poisoning. "An Invisible Enemy: The War Against Fentanyl" will premiere May 6th, 2023 at 6:30 PM at the Pickens County Performing Arts Center. We will have Narcan available to distribute to those who are concerned about an opioid overdose for themselves or a loved one. Local recovery vendors will also be available and another local mom will be there to tell her son's story in person. It is our goal to educate the community on the dangers that this invisible enemy, fentanyl, is presenting to our community.
