Summary
- Foundation started after son's fatal overdose, now aids other grieving families.
- Event marked National Fentanyl Awareness Day with resource sharing.

On National Fentanyl Awareness Day, the Quintenn Clark Foundation provided crucial support to families grappling with addiction and loss. Founder Anthony Clark established the organization after his 20-year-old son, Quintenn, died from an overdose on March 2, 2021. Clark aims to help other families who feel isolated in their grief, noting Cheatham County's high overdose rates in 2021.
Gathering to honor those lost, including Sandra Gregory's son Brandon, participants shared stories to foster change. A billboard by Leona's Legacy of Love displayed photos of loved ones nationwide, serving as a reminder to connect with family. Organizers distributed life-saving resources like Narcan, reinforcing the message of hope and support for those still fighting addiction.
