Illenium Promises to Match Donations for End Overdose Partnership

Illenium has vowed to match donations for End Overdose fundraiser partnership, also pledge free tickets for five lucky donors.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Illenium has announced a fundraising partnership with End Overdose aimed at overdose education and prevention. In doing so, Illenium shared his personal journey of overcoming opioid addiction and his gratitude for getting a second chance. 

With the impending release of his third Trilogy, Illenium took a moment to reflect on the positive turns his life has taken. He acknowledged the challenges he faced while battling opioid addiction and has previously pledged to spread overdose education through his platform. Grateful for his own recovery, Illenium now seeks to lend a helping hand through his fundraising initiative dedicated to overdose prevention.

End Overdose, the chosen beneficiary of Illenium‘s fundraiser, has made significant strides in its mission to prevent overdose-related fatalities. Last year alone, the organization trained a whopping 216,301 individuals to administer the life-saving drug Naloxone (a.k.a. Narcan). Additionally, they distributed 166,913 doses of naloxone to communities, each representing a potential second chance for someone in need.

Illenium‘s fundraiser represents an incredible opportunity to contribute to a cause that hits close to home. The artist has pledged to match all donations made to the fundraiser up to the predefined goal. Furthermore, as an extra motivation, anyone who contributes will receive a chance to win an exclusive prize.

The grand reward includes an in-person naloxone training session with Illenium himself at Trilogy: Los Angeles, along with two tickets to each show and a signed Trilogy jersey. Needless to say, five lucky winners will wake up very happy on the day of the drawing, January 30^th. In a touching gesture, Illenium has also announced that End Overdose will have a presence at each Trilogy show, allowing attendees to stop by and receive naloxone training. 

As fans rally behind the cause, the artist’s commitment to matching donations amplifies the impact of their collective efforts. In Illenium’s own words, “Love you fam, let’s take care of each other ❤️🙏.” Learn more about the End Overdose initiative on their website.

Having grown up just an earshot from Ultra Miami’s venue Bayfront Park, it was next to impossible for me not to fall in love with electronic music. My love for music was evidently strong enough for me to write my college essay on festival culture and continue attending Ultra for 10+ years now. I have always had a knack for writing and the power of words, which I continued cultivating through a Philosophy degree in college. Now, I am finishing up law school and hope to merge my passions by working in the music industry. I am an avid traveler and am certainly not afraid to hop on a plane for a music event. My next bucket list items to attend are Tomorrowland in Belgium and ADE in the Netherlands. Though the list could go on forever, some of my favorite artists include Franky Wah, Kevin de Vries, Eli Brown, and John Summit.
