Families Against Narcotics came together in November 2007 and listed below is what we've been able to do so far. Although were proud our accomplishments, young people continue to unknowlingly become addicts and far too many have left this earth. FAN continues to look for opportunities to share our stories and our mission.

Ultimately, we look forward to the day when our young people understand the real dangers and true consequences of their decision to try, use or experiment with drugs.
