BECOME A LEGACY PARTNER

BECOME A LEGACY PARTNER

Do you want to create a Legacy in Youth Addiction Prevention here in WNY? 


"The F.O.C.U.S. Foundation for Youth Addiction Prevention" is coming, and with your help we will reach our goal.


Now accepting applications for Platinum and Gold Legacy Partners. 



F.O.C.U.S. Foundation for Addiction Prevention

  

When you pass on, sell your business, or retire, what will you be known for?

What will people remember you by? 

What long-lasting Legacy will you leave behind? 

Will your Legacy be remembered in preventing addiction within our youth here in Western New York?


FOCUS: For Our Community Unity & Support, Inc. is now accepting applications for 

Legacy Partners in their new FOCUS FOUNDATION for ADDICTION PREVENTION.


Addiction plagues our area and in addiction science we know there is one answer to stopping substance use dependence and that’s prevention. FOCUS: For Our Community Unity & Support, Inc,. currently funded by the White House Office of Drug Control Policy under the Drug Free Communities Grant needs your help.


No single entity bears the sole responsibility for preventing youth drug use and misuse; rather a comprehensive blend of individually and environmentally focused efforts must be adopted and multiple strategies must be implemented across multiple sectors of a community to address this issue. Generalized universal prevention programs to help build strong families and provide youth with the skills to make good, healthy decisions are necessary.


However, there is also a need to focus specifically on environmental strategies which include changing social norms and reducing access and availability through systems and policy changes. In order to achieve population level reductions in drug use, a multi sector, and community based drug prevention infrastructure must be organized to strategically plan, implement and evaluate community wide comprehensive strategies as well as evidence-based drug prevention programs throughout multiple community sectors and settings. These strategies, programs and services are developed and delivered by the community as a whole and include multiple community partners, such as parents, youth, schools, youth serving organizations, healthcare providers, and other relevant community departments, sectors and participants. 


Here at FOCUS: For Our Community Unity & Support, Inc., we want to be sure we can continue to impact our community for generations to come after our grant with the ONDCP expires which is why we are asking for your help in creating a Foundation by becoming one of our Legacy Partners.

What do we know?

We know that once we create the FOCUS Foundation on Addiction Prevention, we can be sure not to depend on government and public funding to provide support, that 5.25% of our private donors money will go back into our community on an annual basis to help prevent substance use in our community, all while the invested assets continue to grow. We know that once this is set up, your Legacy of creating social impact for our youth in Western New York will endure forever. We know that every $1 spent on Addiction prevention saves us $2-$20 in Addiction Recovery services.
