This event was conducted in partnership with Bourne Police Department, Bourne Fire Department and the Bourne Substance Free Coalition . The  goal was  to expose students to the negative effects of high risk taking decisions and behaviors. 

July 2, 2025, from 5:00-7:00pm at the Doran Park on the campus of Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School in Bourne.  This family friendly event featured free hot dogs and chips for kids, Touch-A-Truck and a K-9 Dog demonstration. Kids got an autographed baseball from a Bourne Braves Player and Bourne students had the chance to win a ride to school in a fire truck! Educational opportunities, such as Narcan training and helpful resource materials were available to explore.

BSFC brought Kevin Rosario, founder of ACES (Addiction Consulting and Education Services), to UCT on May 16, 2025 to educate students and staff about life choices and risks associated with early substance use. This event continues BSFC’s mission to increase awareness and knowledge among the community about the risks of early substance use, fostering a supportive environment that encourages positive behaviors and reduces the likelihood of substance misuse.

With money from an Opiod Settlement Fund Mini-Grant, BSFC will install NaloxBoxes in public locations throughout Bourne. Similar to an automated external defibrillator (AED) used to help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, a NaloxBox is mounted on a wall in a public place to provide life-saving aid in the event of an opioid overdose. This initiative aims to reduce the number of fatal overdoses in the community by providing immediate access to naloxone, thereby saving lives and promoting public health.
