In June, Planet Aid helped sponsor the Long Drive golf competition in Peabody, Massachusetts. The competition was held in memory of Dan Pimenta, a local fireman [who passed away](https://www.salemnews.com/news/local_news/peabody-firefighter-killed-in-bicycle-crash-fought-ms-for-years/article_39ea89a9-e6ce-52d6-908e-3312cff7eb0f.html) in July of 2017, and raised funds to support drug education and prevention in the area.

This weekend, the funds from that competition are being [put to use](https://www.salemnews.com/news/local_news/free-training-offered-on-overdose-reversal-drug/article_cdd0100a-9717-539a-84fd-40edd1bab849.html) during the Fifth Annual Colton Buckley road race. At a free pasta dinner the night before the race (Nov. 10), participants will learn how to administer [naloxone](https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/opioid-overdose-reversal-naloxone-narcan-evzio) to someone suffering from an opioid overdose, and 20 participates will receive a free dose of the opioid-overdose antidote to take with them.
