Families unite to honor lives lost, spread lifesaving awareness, and prevent future tragedies
~ from Leona’s Legacy of Love
Leona’s Legacy of Love, alongside Dustin’s Legacy of Hope, Conner’s Wish, Bashun’s Bridge and Justice for Josh, invites the community and local news media to attend a Fentanyl Awareness Billboard Gathering on Saturday, November 14, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at 3901 N. Broadway in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Illicit fentanyl continues to claim thousands of lives, particularly among young and middle-aged Americans. Fentanyl has been widely cited as a leading cause of death among Americans ages 18–45, highlighting the urgent need for education and prevention.
Counterfeit prescription pills and other illicit drugs can contain deadly amounts of fentanyl without a person’s knowledge. Just one pill can kill, and too many families are learning about this danger only after losing someone they love.
Leona’s Legacy of Love was founded in memory of Leona Swinney, Forever 21, who lost her life to fentanyl poisoning on April 23, 2022. Through awareness billboards across America, the organization honors lives lost while educating communities about the dangers of illicit fentanyl.
