CONNECTICUT, USA — A statewide nonprofit committed to raising awareness about substance use disorders is giving Connecticut residents a taste of education this spring.
A Promise to Jordan will host the 2nd Annual Mocktail Tasting fundraising event happening this Sunday, May 22, at Real Art Ways in Hartford.
Area restaurateurs and bar owners will showcase their best non-alcoholic beverages and compete for a chance at 1st place!
A Promise to Jordan is a non-profit named after Jordan Arakelian, a Simsbury high school graduate who died from an accidental opioid overdose in 2018 at the age of 24. His mom Lisa set out with the mission to raise awareness and eliminate the stigma of addiction, and assist people in accessing quality care.
