​    The  Today  I  Matter  Memorial  Poster  Project
    is about to evolve to enable continued exhibitions  
       around the country
​Unfortunately the project has grown to the point that it has become physically too difficult for us to transport 
​       except for specific local events in Connecticut. 
         
​Our present arrangement is for the posters of individuals from Connecticut to remain in custody of Today I Matter in Connecticut for our annual events on International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, and the Outrun Addiction 5K in Enfield CT.
This year the 5K will be on September 19. 

We have collaborated with Team Sharing of Massachusetts (recently merged with "The Sun Will Rise", an advocacy organization in Massachusetts)
They have the posters of individuals from Massachusetts that they will display at their events.
Team Sharing branches in Pennsylvania and Vermont will display their respective state posters 

​The posters from the remaining states around the country will be managed by "Micah's Hugs" an awareness, education, and advocacy organization in Sebastopol California. They will be displaying these posters at events that they organize. 

We are sad that we have to do this but very pleased that our loved ones will live on as this project sees more exposure around the country and with the knowledge and trust that they will continued to be cared for and displayed with the respect and dignity that our loved ones deserve. 
​
We do not charge families a fee for this service
but thankfully accept donations to help defray the costs of printing new posters. 
Thank you for your understanding.
