Black Balloon Day

Posted 02/27/25

     Across the United States on March 6, families and loved ones remember and celebrate the lives lost to overdose.  This day has become known as Black Balloon Day. 

     Black Balloon Day has become a national and international event, bringing awareness to overdose deaths.  As with many things with the opiod epidemic, Black Balloon Day began with a loss of a family member.  Diane and Lauren Hurley began this sacred day in rememberance of Greg Tremblay who unfortunately passed away from an overdose on March 6, 2015.  

     Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States.  Opiod addiction is driving this epidemic. Americans are more likely to die of an opiod overdose than they are from a car accident or from a gun.  Black Balloon Day helps create awareness around the important issue of providing support to those struggling with substance use disorder and their loved ones.
