JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL
COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVIST AWARD BREAKFAST
as we celebrate KATHY DAY

 Thursday, June 12 at 8:30AM
The Cruiseport, Gloucester MA

​Kathy Day, founder of Luminaries and Love, Gloucester's annual evening event honoring those in the community that we've lost to drugs, as well as the Director of Program Development and Training for Learn to Cope, is a tireless advocate for people experiencing substance use disorder. Kathy exemplifies what it means to be a Community Health Activist! 

You'll have the opportunity to hear from people who know and love Kathy, and from Kathy herself! Please bring a canned good for use at Luminaries and Love. During the breakfast, you will have an opportunity to make a luminary in honor of someone you've lost to drugs. These luminaries will be included at the Luminaries and Love event in August. 

Tickets are $50 each and are very limited! A link to purchase tickets is below.
