What is Save a Life Day?
On Sep 26th, 2024, all the states East of the Mississippi River (and a few beyond) powered up the largest day of naloxone distribution to date. Over 650 events from 35 states took part – distributing over 82,000 naloxone doses! Check out some photos here.
“Save a Life Day” events grow bigger every year. In 2023, all 13 Appalachian states joined together and distributed over 45,000 naloxone doses in a single day.
