    DOITFORJACK Foundation is thrilled

    Thanks to the outpouring of generosity from our incredible community, the DOITFORJACK Foundation is thrilled to announce that we claimed the #1 spot in the Cincinnati Gives Challenge, raising an extraordinary $94,541! This achievement is a testament to the power of collective action and the deep compassion of our supporters.

    These funds will allow us to grow and enhance our educational initiatives, including developing a comprehensive fentanyl awareness tool kit for educators and parents. Additionally, this support will enable us to expand our mission by:

    • Promoting awareness beyond Cincinnati to reach even more communities.- Expanding and enhancing media presence to reach a wider audience and more age groups.- Collaborating with local nonprofit experts to assist with grant writing and foundation expansion.
    • Continuing to share Jack’s story in schools, businesses, and with the media to inspire meaningful change and save lives.
    • Collaborating with local counties to provide Narcan to local businesses to prevent fatal overdoses.

    “This incredible generosity means we can continue fighting the fentanyl crisis on multiple fronts,” said founder Stephanie Quehl from DOITFORJACK. “From prevention to education, your support is helping us turn our vision for 2025 into reality. Together, we’re creating a safer future where no family has to experience the loss of their Jack.”

    The DOITFORJACK Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to everyone who donated, shared, and supported the campaign. Your belief in our mission fuels our determination to make a difference.

    Stephanie Quehl of DOITFORJACK appears on Scripps Network to talk about fentanyl crisis

    Loveland, Ohio – The Scripps Network proclaims, “The siren is sounding for the fentanyl crisis.” Acclaimed journalist Caren Zucker speaks with educators, law enforcement officials and family members of those lost to the drug and tries to answer the obvious question: what can we do to help end the fentanyl crisis in America?

    Loveland resident Stephanie Quehl of DOITFORJACK was invited to Atlanta to participate in a fentanyl awareness production with the Scripps Network.

    Producer Caren Zucker, who lost her son Jonah to fentanyl, along with former ABC White House Correspondent John Donvan, and ABC News Executive Producer Jon Meyersohn, pulled together a group of individuals from around the country in the fentanyl awareness community to participate in a conversation about this critical topic.

    Stephanie Quehl lost her son to a fentanyl poisoning.

    This production is an informative and poignant presentation of how fentanyl impacts everyone. Please take the time to watch “To Save A Life: A National Fentanyl Alarm.”

    Please join us for an unforgettable evening of art, altruism, and education

    This event is an opportunity to mingle in the art gallery, learn about our foundation’s tireless mission of educating our communities about the fentanyl crisis, and bid on auction items that will help support our foundation’s goals. All proceeds from the evening go toward supporting our mission so that no family loses their Jack.

    The need for fentanyl awareness is great. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death of 18-45 year olds in the U.S. and is increasingly impacting all ages. The only way to combat this epidemic is through spreading awareness. And we can’t spread our message without YOU! Purchase tickets here!

  • The need for fentanyl awareness is great

    The need for fentanyl awareness is great

    DoitforJack and the Jack Quehl Foundation are on a Mission to Educate Our Community About the Dangers of Fentanyl

    The need for fentanyl awareness is great. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death of 18-45 year-olds in the U.S. and is increasingly impacting all ages. The only way to combat this epidemic is through spreading awareness in schools, the community and our workplaces. Education around fentanyl poisoning is relevant and vital for your business operations:

    1. Employee Well-being: Your workforce likely comprises individuals who may be directly or indirectly affected by the fentanyl crisis. Educating employees about the risks of fentanyl contamination in the community can help safeguard their well-being and promote a healthier workplace environment. On-boarding new employees is a great time to share this information.

    2. Customer Safety: If your business caters to young adult clientele, whether through products, services, or entertainment venues, you have a responsibility to ensure their safety. Providing information on fentanyl poisoning equips your customers with knowledge to make informed decisions and protect themselves from potential harm.

    3. Corporate Social Responsibility: Demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility is paramount in today’s business landscape. By participating in educational initiatives on fentanyl poisoning, your business can actively contribute to the well-being of the community it serves, enhancing its reputation and fostering goodwill among stakeholders.

    4. Legal and Reputational Risks: In the event of a fentanyl-related incident on your premises, ignorance is not a viable defense. Proactive education and preventive measures can mitigate legal liabilities and shield your business from reputational damage associated with such tragedies.

    5. Economic Impact: The fentanyl crisis exerts a substantial economic toll, encompassing healthcare costs, lost productivity, and potential litigation expenses. By investing in education and prevention efforts, businesses can help alleviate this burden and contribute to the overall economic resilience of their communities.

    In light of these compelling reasons, we urge you to consider integrating education on fentanyl poisoning into your business practices. If you would like us to come speak to your workforce, we can make a tangible difference in combating this epidemic. Together, we can empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to stay safe and thrive in our communities. Please complete this form and we will be in touch.

    Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. We stand ready and look forward to the possibility of working together toward a safer, healthier future for all.

    From our hearts to yours,
