Season’s Greetings from Emily’s Hope!

As the year winds down, we reflect on the joys and the challenges that have come our way. Amidst the backdrop of an overdose epidemic fueled by deadly fentanyl, claiming far too many lives, we are reminded of the importance of hope, perseverance, and the human spirit.

This year, we’re celebrating incredible growth and hope:

• Our substance use prevention curriculum has expanded to 5 states, reaching nearly 17,000 students and counting!
• Our K-5 program is in its second school year, and we’re piloting our middle school lessons while finishing up our high school curriculum.
• Our Post-Overdose Response Team is providing crucial support to those who survive an overdose, and we’re distributing thousands of doses of naloxone for free to save lives.

Our education program is making a difference! Here are a couple of insights from our 5th graders.

Thanks to a generous donor, your gift this season will be matched up to $10,000—doubling your impact.

Together, we are saving lives and empowering young people to make informed choices. Emily’s legacy shines through every life we touch.
As we enter the New Year, let’s renew our commitment to break the stigma around substance use disorder and support those in need.
Together, we can make a real difference.

Thank You and Happy Holidays!
