Overdose Awareness Month · August 2026
Every August,
we fight to
end overdose.
A month of awareness, action, and fundraising — building to National Overdose Awareness Day on August 31 and a live show on September 5 in Los Angelesin LA on Sept 5. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18–45. This is the month we go all in.
Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18–45.
Naloxone reverses an overdose in minutes. But the crisis is not slowing down, and the public funding communities depend on is disappearing. End Overdose operates independently of the federal funding cycle, so every dollar raised this month goes directly into programs that save lives — and stays in the communities that need it.
- Independent of the federal funding cycle
- Every dollar stays in the communities that need it
