Super Bowl Event to Help
More Than 600 Local People Struggling with Opioid Use
Touchdown for HOPE Took Place Sunday, February 5, 2017

Mason, OH –The eighth annual Touchdown for HOPE Super Bowl Sunday event took place Sunday, February 5, 2017 at the Great American Ballpark Champions Club.
Proceeds from Touchdown for HOPE are now in place to subsidize the cost of assessment and treatment for those suffering from prescription opioid/heroin addiction at Lindner Center of HOPE’s HOPE Center North location.  With approximately 265 tickets sold and sponsorships, Lindner Center of HOPE is positioned to help more than 600 people struggling with opioid use disorder — an investment of over $160,000. Lindner Center of HOPE’s HOPE Center North location made the subsidy available Monday, February 6, 2017.

This is just one element of Lindner Center of HOPE’s response to the overdose crisis in the local community.  Many people suffer from not having the funds to pay for services for a daily treatment program, despite the fact that in most cases this is the most effective treatment option.  The inconsistency results in declining treatment effectiveness significantly over time.

Touchdown for HOPE is a classy and fun Super Bowl party with big screen televisions, plush seating, and signature Cincinnati food favorites and other upscale tailgate-style treats. All taking place in a sports fan’s dream location –overlooking the baseball field.

Anthony and Dede Muňoz were onsite as Honorary Hosts as well as Touchdown Team Captains Sam Bortz and Mike Glen and their group of offensive coordinators.
