FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lexington County Blowfish and Coroner’s Office Partner All Season Long to Prevent Opioid Abuse
LEXINGTON, S.C. – The Lexington County Blowfish Baseball Club is partnering with the Lexington County Coroner’s Office for the upcoming season to launch a major public service campaign: “Take Action, Save A Life – Prevent Opioid Abuse.”
The season-long initiative aims to raise awareness about the dangers of opioid abuse and provide families with practical strategies to protect their loved ones. Throughout the summer, the Blowfish will use their platform at the stadium and across digital media to share life-saving information and encourage open communication within the community.
Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher emphasizes that prevention starts with simple, ongoing dialogue at home.
“Talking to your loved ones about opioids and other drugs doesn’t have to be awkward,” Coroner Fisher stated. “One long, uncomfortable conversation won’t necessarily keep them healthy and safe. Instead, having lots of short conversations is the best way to keep communicating without it feeling like a struggle or a nuisance. In fact, the more short talks you have, the easier it gets, especially when it comes to giving your loved ones the facts and helping them make healthy decisions.”
The Blowfish organization is dedicated to utilizing the power of sports to strengthen the local community and tackle critical public health challenges. Fans attending games this season will see educational resources, public service announcements, and dedicated awareness nights focused on opioid prevention.
