JACKSONVILLE, Fla \u2014 A Jacksonville family is looking to bridge the gap in awareness and the stigma of substance abuse with an upcoming golf event. Brian and Kim Kelly set up the All Life Is Valuable – Everyone (A.L.I.V.E.) Golf Classic <\/a>to honor their son, Palmer, and raise money for Drug Free Duval to help boost efforts to prevent overdose and help those struggling with addiction. Palmer Kelly died nearly six years ago after overdosing on cocaine that was laced with fentanyl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take this tragic loss and help other families who are going through this in our community,\u201d said Kim Kelly. \u201cWe\u2019re here today to help the Jacksonville community, to help other families, to let them know there are great resources out there, that there is hope, and that they can talk about it freely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2nd annual A.L.I.V.E. Golf Classic will take place on May 4 at the Queen\u2019s Harbour Yacht and Country Club. The event will feature Narcan training on JTA\u2019s Safety on the Move bus. You can find more information on how to register for the A.L.I.V.E Golf Classic<\/a> or to become a sponsor on the Drug Free Duval website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re starting to see funding dry up to make Narcan accessible,\u201d said Mike McCormick of Florida\u2019s Poison Control Centers<\/a>. \u201cSo groups like Drug Free Duval, they\u2019re out handing it out, I\u2019m out in public also putting it out, but our access to be able to get it out into the public is shrinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
