International Overdose Awareness Day
Metro Drug Coalition is proud to host
Knoxville’s 2025 International Overdose Awareness Day!
Join us on August 29th at Lakeshore Park – Marble Hall from 2-7 pm to remember those we have lost to overdose and celebrate life.
All proceeds from this event benefit Metro Drug Coalition’s Recovery Housing Support Fund, which aids these individuals who are not financially capable of paying the initial fee to enter a safe place to further their recovery process.


If you would like to put your loved one’s name on the Overdose Awareness wrapped cement truck, please follow the instructions below. Both trucks will be displayed at the event.
To submit your loved one, text FIRST NAME ONLY and DEATH DATE to Jessica at 865-440-5598.
