Spirit of Sebastian substance abuse prevention events

Spirit of Sebastian will host three events in March focused on substance abuse prevention and community support in the Lowcountry.

The nonprofit will present “Prevention Starts Now” on March 23 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Hilton Head Preparatory School Theater, 3000 Main St. Hilton Head Island. The program will address the importance of preventing drug and alcohol use among young people, emphasizing that early education and community awareness can save lives.

A Spanish-language presentation, “Prevention Starts Now – Spanish,” will follow on Tuesday, March 24, at the same location. Organizers say offering the program in Spanish ensures broader access to prevention education for families across the region.

The events are part of the organization’s mission to provide resources, outreach and education that encourage healthy choices and support youth and families impacted by substance misuse.

In addition to the educational programs, Spirit of Sebastian will hold its first golf fundraiser tournament on March 22 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes in Hardeeville. Proceeds from the tournament will support the nonprofit’s prevention initiatives and community programming.

Founded in memory of Sebastian Puech, the organization works to empower youth and prevent substance abuse through advocacy and education. More information about the events is available at spiritofsebastian.org.
