FOXBOROUGH, MA — Leading up to Labor Day weekend, Foxboro Commons will be lined with multi-colored flags to raise awareness of those who lost their lives to addictions in Massachusetts over the past four years. "The Stakes Are High," is an awareness event aimed to remember loved ones lost due to crisis. At 10 a.m. this Sunday, survivors and family members who have lost loved ones will gather at Foxboro Common to hand out Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, listen to speakers and hold a moment of silence for those lost. Organizers say they hope the sea of flags will gain the attention of people driving by, making them realize how many people are dying from this and hope the recognition will help end the stigma of addiction. Foxboro Commons is located at 1 Central Street between Main Street & North Street. Check out more information on this event here. And if you or someone you know is in crisis with addiction, help is available at 1-800-662-4357.
