Message from UNA
"As you know, we will be gathering on Sunday, October 4, 2015 on the National Mall to UNITE to Face Addiction. Over 450 diverse organizations from around the country will be joining us to launch a first-of-its-kind campaign to confront America's denial about the most urgent health crisis facing our nation today - addiction to alcohol and other drugs. We have some exciting announcements about the event and wanted to share the news with you first!
We're thrilled to announce that Joe Walsh, Steven Tyler with his Nashville-based band Loving Mary, Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, The Fray, and John Rzeznick of the Goo Goo Dolls will be joining us on October 4 in Washington, D.C. These performers share our passion for understanding the impact of addiction and the power of recovery, and we are so proud to have their support.
Also joining us to UNITE to Face Addiction will be health expert and television host Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has just released a PSA in support of our event. Additional performers, celebrity guests, and special speakers will be announced in the coming weeks, so be sure to check our website and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest announcements.
It's time to end the silence around this crisis and empower the afflicted and affected to take a stand for those who can't. We hope you will join us in D.C. on October 4, and help us share this exciting news on your own social media platforms!
Thank you for your continued support and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions as we UNITE to Face Addiction."
