Fred Levin Way Fest

👏uge shoutout to UWF Professor Bre Garret for inviting us to present to her ENC 1102 class for the second semester in a row! Her students were working on public arguments aimed at raising awareness about fentanyl within the UWF community—a topic Professor Garret has made a priority in her curriculum since 2023.

We had such an incredible time connecting with families in our community, sharing the importance of substance use prevention, and raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl.  To top it off, we sent 28 families home with a box of  Narcan. A huge thank you to the Fred Levin Way Foundation for all the hard work that went into making this year's festival meaningful and impactful.
