To help combat the toll that heroin addiction has on young people and their families, on Thursday, July 28, 2016 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (CDT), a fundraiser will be held at Cy Fredrics Jewelers,2719 Pfingsten Road, Glenview.

All proceeds support the Jordan Michael Filler Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that was established to take Jordan's fight with heroin addiction out from behind closed doors, into the spotlight, to create awareness of drug addiction. Through educating children and their parents, primarily through schools; working with legislators to improve privacy laws to enable treatment providers to work more effectively with families; and expanding a program called "text a tip," which provides students an opportunity to anonymously get help for themselves or others, the Foundation will make a difference in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse (including heroin).

The free event, sponsored by Chad Coe, Mastermind Connections; Cy Fredrics; and RelEvent Productions and will offer a night of networking, fundraising and jewelry appraisals. Appetizers and beverages will be served. A raffle will be held to win a 7 day trip to Jamaica, Cancun or Costa Rica.
