Charlie's Fight Project

 
 
Overview of Charlie’s Fight Project
 
 
 
WHY:
  • Deaths by drug overdoses in Rhode Island have become a public health crisis.
     
  • The problem starts in Middle School and can become a lifelong problem during High School and afterwards.
     
  • Appealing to the parents, Public Service Ads or school assemblies has not worked

WHAT:
  •  Motivate students at both school levels to take part in the solution. “How can you avoid being a victim of substance abuse or how can you help your best friend not to.”
     
  • Participate in the Project Contest & win 3 tiers of prizes for the best ideas.
WHO:
  • Charlie, a top student, fought addiction but died of a drug overdose a few years ago!
