SUMMARY:Black Balloon Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Honor. Remember. Raise Awareness. 🖤 \nJoin Emily’s Hope in recognizing Black Balloon Day on March 6—a day to honor loved ones lost to substance use disorder and raise awareness about the overdose crisis. \nFentanyl and other synthetic opioids are involved in more than half of all overdose deaths\, yet 10% of U.S. adults experience substance use disorder in their lifetime\, with nearly 75% never receiving treatment. \nBlack Balloon Day is both a time for remembrance and a call to action. Together\, we can reduce stigma\, share stories\, and advocate for change. \nHow to participate:\n🖤 Place a black balloon outside your home or business\n🖤 Share a virtual black balloon on social media with the hashtag #BlackBalloonDay\n🖤 Take a moment to remember those lost and support those in recovery \nThe History of Black Balloon Day\nGreg Tremblay\, a 38-year-old father of four\, passed away from an overdose on March 6\, 2015. To honor and memorialize Greg\, his family created Black Balloon Day. While Black Balloon Day began as a small memorial and tribute to Greg\, it grew in popularity and has become an event observed nationally and internationally every year on March 6.

SUMMARY:Emily’s 29th Birthday Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate Emily’s 29th birthday on March 23rd\, we celebrate her beautiful spirit and the lasting impact she continues to have through Emily’s Hope. This year\, we’re setting a goal to raise $2\,900 to support Youth Art Workshops in Sioux Falls middle schools\, part of our Youth Prevention Coalition. \nDonate here  https://givebutter.com/emily29\nThese workshops give students a safe and creative space to express themselves while learning about substance use prevention\, mental health\, and making healthy choices. Your support will provide the art supplies needed for these workshops\, helping students fully engage\, explore their creativity\, and build confidence. 🎨✏️ \nWhy $2\,900? Each dollar represents a year of Emily’s precious life\, honoring her memory while bringing hope and opportunity to young people in our community. Every gift\, big or small\, makes a difference. \nThank you for keeping Emily’s Hope alive and helping us empower the next generation through art\, education\, and prevention. 💜
