Kent Goes Purple is a substance abuse awareness and prevention initiative of the Kent County Sheriff’s Office and Chestertown Rotary Club that will engage our community and youth to stand up against substance abuse.
The project is based upon THP Project Purple, an initiative of The Herren Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation established by former NBA basketball player, Chris Herren, that assists individuals and families struggling with addiction.
More information on THP Project Purple is available at www.thpprojectpurple.org.
