Overdose Prevention Training At Coolidge Next Tuesday

A release from the friends of Jake Czuczwa and the Community Betterment Foundation:

You'll never know when or if you'll have the opportunity to save a life. So why not be prepared?

Join the Jake Czuczwa Community Betterment Foundation and learn how to save a life. In 2016, drug overdoses killed more than 64,000 US citizens, more than the Vietnam and Iraq wars combined. On Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. the foundation will be hosting an overdose prevention training at Coolidge Middle School. There will be a demonstration of how to reverse an overdose using Narcan, and additional resources will be available. The event is free and open to the public. Any and all questions will be welcomed.

On June 25th, 2017, Jake Czuczwa passed away just one day after his 24th birthday. Jake was a truly incredible friend as well as a gifted musician, songwriter, and producer. Growing up in Reading, Jake played trombone at Coolidge Middle School and Reading Memorial High School in concert, marching, and jazz band. He was a member of RMHS’s drama club and the boy scouts, but his greatest pleasure came from creating and playing his original music.

Jams For Jake was held last fall with the second event scheduled for August. For more information go to jamsforjake.com.
