Rise Up! Glendale, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, The State Attorney General, Kris Mayes, & NFL Alumni Health including former hall of players Lincoln Kennedy, Kyle Richardson, Billy Davis and Dr. Holly Geyer from the Mayo Clinic came together for an EPIC Townhall in Glendale, AZ on May 17, 2024!

The community came together to "Tackle Fentanyl". We are grateful to the 27 agencies who joined us in providing workshops and resources for the community. CCV Maryvale even donated free summer camp passes for two - almost a $1,000 value!

Arizona Rangers provided security, Kellis Choir sang the National Anthem, and the Cactus JROTC posted the colors.

Molina Healthcare provided 140 catered meals to all the volunteers and vendors and the DEA hired PLUSONEMINISTRY to provide a delicious dinner of tacos, rice and beans for all community members who attended!

HUGE Thank You to ALL involved!
