    Drugs: Costs & Consequences

    Now Open at the Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma-Snow Branch, Parma, Ohio

    Together with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Cuyahoga County Public Library, the DEA Educational Foundation is proud to bring our traveling exhibition, Drugs: Costs & Consequences to the Parma-Snow Branch, located at 2121 Snow Road, Parma, Ohio. The exhibit will be on display until June 21, 2020, and is free to the public.  

    ​

    DEA’s national traveling exhibits, Target America and Drugs: Costs & Consequences have impacted more than 22 million students, teachers, and parents who have visited the museum throughout the country. The DEA Educational Foundation has been instrumental in helping DEA establish the exhibit in 17 cities across the United States, and in networking with community and civic leaders to bring awareness to the public about the dangers of drug abuse and addiction. The theme of the exhibit, “Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause” has resonated with diverse communities across the United States.

    On December 6, 2018, Adrienne Maloof opened up her beautiful home and hosted our traveling seminar “Understanding the Opioid Epidemic: A Call to Action” which gave us a chance to reach guests from the Los Angeles community. DEA Educational Foundation board member EJ Milken and her husband, Gregory, along with board member Dr. Charles Sophy co-hosted the evening. Retired DEA SAC Robert Stutman and Dr. Sophy spoke about our nation’s opioid epidemic and the severity of it.  Giving guests invaluable information about the epidemic with ideas on what they can do help combat it.  DEA EF board members Helen Mars and Colleen Maloof attended in support of this important issue.  Special guests included former DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart and her husband Gene Johns, along  with Steve Murphy and Javier Pena, the DEA agents depicted in the Netflix series, Narcos.  This event comes at a very important time in our country as we face the ongoing opioid epidemic that touches all walks of life.
