Who we are.
We are parents, grandparents, siblings and friends who care deeply about the mental and physical well-being of teens and young adults facing the frightening prospect of dependency, addiction and overdose. We believe no family should be forced to endure the anguish of irreversible consequences.
What we do.
We raise funds to benefit proven Madison non-profits doing the critical, life-saving work of advancing awareness, fostering outreach, or delivering treatment services in our community.
We collaborate with those who help Madison teens and young adults identify and recover from substance use disorder and addiction.
Why it matters.
27% of young adults struggle with substance use disorder.
90% of people with substance use disorder do not seek treatment.
Accidental overdose is a leading cause of death in teens and young adults.
100% of people who suffer from substance use disorder deserve hope and help.
Hope in action.
