VIDEO – ONE PILL CAN KILL –

Sept. 3, 2024 – Star pitcher Logan Web has been leading the charge after losing his cousin Kade to the fentanyl crisis.

“It’s something that’s impacted Logan deeply and something he’s been really passionate about raising awareness for and becoming an advocate for in terms of just making people aware of what’s going on,” said Oliphant.

 In the battle against the fentanyl crisis, one Bay Area mother is taking her message to the masses, teaming up with the big leagues to help get it done.

“One-quarter pill can kill and that’s the truth. They’ve got to know they’re playing with fire,” said Carrie Luther, whose son Tosh died from fentanyl poisoning in 2015 after taking a counterfeit Xanax pill. “You know it will be nine years in October but that doesn’t change the trauma of having lost him that way.”

She’s since been sharing his story, speaking at Bay Area schools and beyond, as well as starting a billboard campaign featuring her son.

“We’re trying to expand so the billboard right now is just located in a small community in the Watsonville area which is near where my son grew up,” explained Luther, who is now calling on some heavy hitters – the San Francisco Giants – to help grow the campaign.
