Impact Report/Financials

The past six months have been a period of remarkable progress for Song for Charlie. From launching new initiatives to expanding our educational outreach to forging major partnerships, we're proud of the strides we've made together and will continue to work hard to save lives.

The data is clear: Teens who hear about “fentapills” are less likely to misuse pills. In fact, fentanyl deaths among 15–24 year-olds declined 9% in 2022 while deaths in the All Ages category rose another 4%. We take this as an encouraging sign that our message is having an impact nationwide. None of this life-saving work is possible without you.

Song for Charlie is well positioned to help reinvent our national response, specifically as we modernize our approach to drug education. We have attracted allies with expertise in youth mental health, developmental neuroscience, harm reduction, prevention and other relevant disciplines. We will harness their knowledge to create content that resonates with young people and empowers them to act.
