Over 200 runners took part in this year’s Kent Goes Purple Color Run held on September 12, 2021.
Kent Goes Purple (KGP) is a substance abuse awareness and prevention initiative from Kent County Sheriff’s Office and Chestertown Rotary Club, that empowers our youth and our community to ‘Go Purple’ as a sign of taking a stand against substance abuse.
Kent Goes Purple is an initiative of the Kent County Sheriff’s Office and Chestertown Rotary Club, in partnership with Kent County Behavioral Health Prevention Office.
“Kent County prevention is excited to be able to sponsor the color run this year so that more of our families can participate,” said Annette Duckery, alcohol and other drugs prevention coordinator for KCBH. “The more community members that can come out, the better. Our theme this year is raising awareness together — the more we can bring people together, the stronger message we can send that Kent County stands together against substance abuse.”
