APALD Launches Awareness Campaign: 'EVERY FORM. EVERY RISK.'
 APALD is announcing the launch of it's new national awareness campaign, "Every Form. Every Risk," aimed at educating families, teens, and communities about the evolving dangers of illicit drugs in America.
While public awareness has increased around counterfeit pills, today's drug crisis extends far beyond a single form.
Illicit substances now appear as pills, powders, smoke, and liquids often mixed with unpredictable and potentially lethal compounds.
"Every Form. Every Risk." is designed to expand understanding of these dangers and emphasize that risk is no longer limited to one type of drug or one method of use. Through this campaign, APALD aims to:
- Increase awareness of the unpredictability of today's drug supply
- Equip families with knowledge to have informed conversations
- Strengthen community-wide prevention efforts
APALD is also seeking collaborative opportunities with national partners, including federal agencies, to expand the reach and impact of this initiative. For more information, visit WeAreAPALD.org.
Facing Fentanyl, Keller Logistics and Trucking Cares Foundation Launch 'Hope Hits the Highway'
 Campaign expands fentanyl awareness trucks while emphasizing the lifesaving power of naloxone
Facing Fentanyl, Keller Logistics Group, and the American Trucking Associations’ Trucking Cares Foundation are launching Hope Hits the Highway, a national naloxone awareness campaign focused on one urgent message: Awareness educates. Naloxone saves lives.
The campaign builds on the fentanyl awareness truck initiative created by the Trucking Cares Foundation in partnership with Facing Fentanyl. That effort helped put fentanyl prevention messages on America’s highways through wrapped trucks that serve as mobile awareness tools, educating the public about the dangers of illicit fentanyl.
With Keller Logistics Group now joining the effort, Hope Hits the Highway expands the mission by emphasizing naloxone awareness, overdose and poisoning response education, and driver preparedness. Keller Logistics has enlisted 20 Hope Hits the Highway Driver Ambassadors who will carry naloxone on the road, helping turn awareness into action and giving drivers the ability to respond in the event of an overdose or poisoning emergency.
The naloxone awareness initiative will also be amplified by the American Trucking Associations’ Trucking Cares Foundation, which will help share this lifesaving information about naloxone with professional drivers across the country. By engaging the trucking industry’s national network, the campaign will broaden its reach and help more drivers, families, and communities understand the importance of naloxone access and overdose response education.
The growing awareness truck fleet honors families impacted by fentanyl poisoning while helping warn communities about the deadly risks of illicit fentanyl. Free fentanyl awareness and education resources can be found at:
