Impact of Previous Events

During the 5th annual Rivaura Rosé River Run last year, we raised almost $20,000. This money was donated to non-profit organizations that are helping spread awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, including Song for Charlie.

Current Context and Call to Action

Opioid overdose deaths have been DECLINING since mid-2023! However, our work is not done yet. Law enforcement, the DEA, and Medical Examiners are increasingly overwhelmed with fentanyl deaths. On December 15, 2025, illicit fentanyl was designated as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. We need people talking, researching, and sharing Cal’s story to help save lives. Remember Cal, Remember Why.
