"It's been an incredible journey from taking an idea seven years ago to celebrating our 6th BRIDGE event," said Dr. William Parrish, a physician with Primary Care of Bremen and co-chair of the BRIDGE organization. "This year's campaign will expose stories of triumph of folks in our community who have been able to overcome their drug and alcohol issues by taking advantage of the treatment options in West Georgia. We believe this will inspire the community to help us in the fight."
BRIDGE Co-Chair, Chief Keith Pesnell said, "The support we receive and monies that we are able to raise during this event helps support educational programming throughout the rest of the year. This allows us to continue teaching children the advantages of staying healthy, living a clean life and saying no to drugs. Monies go toward special programming during Red Ribbon Week, educational materials upgrades and more."
