Butterfly Release & International Overdose Awareness Day Ceremony

In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, we invite you to take part in our annual Butterfly Release Ceremony. Each guest will receive a live butterfly to release and/or a packet of wildflower seeds to plant in memory of a loved one. This day is a global observance that raises awareness about overdose, honors the people who have died and supports those who live with grief. We gather to remember without shame. We gather to say you are not alone. This year’s theme: One Big Family, Driven by Hope. Please RSVP by reserving a free ticket for each person wanting to release a butterfly. This helps us plan how many butterflies we need. All are welcome. Whether you come to remember someone or simply to stand in solidarity, your presence matters. https://www.thesunwillrise.org/events-activities
