JOIN US AS WE GATHER TO REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE DIED DUE TO OVERDOSE & OTHER SUBSTANCE USE-RELATED CAUSES.

Join The Sun Will Rise Foundation, the Town of Braintree, The Braintree Community Partnership, the Town of Weymouth, and the Weymouth Prevention Alliance as we come together to honor International Overdose Awareness Day. This evening is an opportunity to remember those who have died due to substance use-related causes while standing alongside others who understand the lasting impact of these deaths. We will gather at Pond Meadow Park for a remembrance ceremony, during which participants will be invited to take part in our glow-stick ceremony. This is a meaningful ceremony that honors the lives of those we carry in our hearts and reminds us that their light continues to shine.

Stay for just the ceremony, or walk with us around Pond Meadow, carrying our own handmade illuminated memorial lanterns. Together we remember.
