Event Details

Opioids killed more than 42,000 people in the United States in 2016. To demonstrate the magnitude of the opioid crisis, an opioid memorial wall was created as part of the Lift The Label campaign. The wall stands eight feet tall and 34 feet long, and is constructed of 4,200 pill bottles; each pill bottle represents 10 Americans lost to heroin and prescription opioid overdoses in 2016. Every bottle has an anti-stigma message that encourages hope and recovery.
