Educate. Advocate. Support.
We’re proud to share our story with you in our first Annual Report. Last year had a lot of notable accomplishments for Overdose Lifeline, some of which include: Launching Camp Mariposa–Indianapolis: Aaron’s Place Serving 250% more people through our Continuing Education courses Placing our first Naloxone Vending Machine in Indiana
We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for the Overdose Lifeline Inaugural 5k. Despite the rain leading up to it, we were blessed with dry weather for the event. We had 136 registered participants (including virtual runners in Washington State), and together we raised over $12,000! The 5K
On June 19th we gathered to hold our first family activity a cookout and fun-filled day at Eagle Creek Park. As thunderstorms blew through the Indianapolis area, our expectations for a dry cookout for Aaron’s place were diminishing. However, the rain held off for the camp team and families and an ideal family activity occurred. This scenario was the perfect set-up for the therapeutic activities we had planned. activity!
On behalf of the entire Overdose Lifeline team and the families we serve: THANK YOU for your support. The Annual Charity Golf Outing is our biggest fundraising event, and we are pleased to announce that we raised $55,000, making it a record-breaking year. See the impact your giving makes here.
In memory of Evan Mathews, the Mathews and Miner Family are supporting Camp Mariposa-Aaron’s Place by sponsoring two campers all year and the contents of all 30 backpacks.
Syringe Service Programs participants are 5x more likely to enter drug treatment and 3x more likely to stop using drugs.
As a result of funding from the Division of Mental Health and Addiction/State of Indiana, Overdose Lifeline and the Dept of Correction will offer Naloxone as an option for each offender upon release.
Thank you to everyone for your support to make this important work possible. Together, we raised $5,500! This is enough money to provide over 120 lifesaving Naloxone kits.
