Chasing the Dragon
We are thrilled to share the success of our impactful event, “Chasing the Dragon,” held on April 24, 2023, at Hillsborough High School in Hillsborough, New Jersey. With the collaboration of the FBI Newark Field Office, the Bergen Performing Arts Center, and the generous sponsorship from Lakeland Bank, the event aimed to address crucial issues surrounding drug abuse, mental health, and the well-being of teenagers.
The invaluable support from the FBI Newark Field Office and the Bergen Performing Arts Center played a pivotal role in bringing this event to life. Their commitment to our cause, along with their expertise, greatly enhanced the quality and impact of the discussions and activities conducted throughout the day. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to these partners for their dedication to creating a safer and healthier community for our youth.
A special thank you goes to Lakeland Bank for their generous sponsorship, which allowed us to organize an event of this scale and significance. Lakeland Bank’s commitment to community well-being and their support for initiatives addressing critical issues like drug abuse and mental health has made a lasting impact on our ability to reach and engage with over 400 students.
The “Chasing the Dragon” event served as a platform to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of mental health among teenagers. Through engaging presentations, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking discussions, students gained valuable insights into the challenges they may face and how to make informed decisions for their well-being.
