Families Against Narcotics (FAN), a nonprofit based in Macomb County, will host their 14th annual Run Drugs Out of Town 5K Run/Walk fundraiser on Saturday, June 18, at 9 am, at Fraser High School.
This event is expected to draw more than 2,000 people to help increase awareness of addiction and raise money to fund the many compassionate programs FAN provides to individuals and families who have been affected by the disease.
“It was great to be able to go back to an in-person run last year after having to do a virtual run because of the pandemic,” FAN Executive Director Linda Davis said. “We had a great turnout in 2021 and are hoping to have an even bigger crowd this year. Run Drugs Out of Town is our favorite FAN event and means so much to so many people, including people in recovery, parents and family members who have lost loved ones to addiction, and those who are still struggling.”
Run Drugs Out of Town participants can walk or run the 5K either individually or as a team, and FAN gives recognition to the Top Fundraising Team and Top Fundraising Individual, as well as to the Largest Team.
Since Families Against Narcotics was founded in Fraser in 2007, the organization has expanded to more than twenty chapters statewide, including their two newest chapters in Marquette and Oakland County.
FAN’s programming includes monthly FAN Forums; Hope Not Handcuffs; community Naloxone Training; Peer and Family Recovery Coaching; the Stronger Together family and friends support group; the COMEBACK Quick Response Team; the HARM:LESS Harm Reduction Support Team; and Sober Living Scholarships.
Fraser High School is located at 34270 Garfield Rd. in Fraser.
