In 2022, Michelle demolished the boundaries between her personal volunteer advocacy, and her work life, and organized SIX Events in the SF Bay Area, in the days between Fentanyl Prevention & Awareness Day 8/21/22 and International Overdose Awareness Day 8/31/22.

Michelle had organized events annually since 2020 around International Overdose Awareness Day 8/31, but when Facing Fentanyl announced the first Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day in 2022, Michelle knew she needed to incorporate that day into her activism.

The "Tools" around Fentanyl Awareness and Overdose Prevention

at her six Ace Hardware stores, helped to raising awareness,

reduce stigma, and trained Narcan-wielding first-responders in our community, including many of Michelle's team members at her Stan's Hardware stores.
