Hey SPW friends and football fans:
We are partnering with the AZ Rattlers (indoor football) for a SPW fundraiser. A portion of ticket sales for the July 11th game against the Tucson Sugar Skulls will go directly back to us. We will be using the proceeds to buy test strips and other supplies that are in high demand right now, but no longer allowed to be purchased with overdose prevention grant dollars due to recent federal changes. So, show your support for the Rattlers and SPW, it's going to be an awesome game and a super important fundraiser💖
