Dear [Recipient’s Name],
Youth addiction is a problem that affects all of us in this community. The statistics speak for themselves: it is now the leading cause of death among young people, and one out of every eight teenagers who try drugs or alcohol will become addicted. Your employees, their families, and your customers all know someone who is struggling or has struggled with addiction.
My name is [Your Name], and I’m reaching out on behalf of the [Your City] chapter of Young People in Recovery (YPR). We’re dedicated to empowering individuals in recovery and creating a community where everyone can thrive.
