A concert was held on Sunday September 13th 2015
at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church in order to raise money for inhalant abuse
awareness. This was triggered by the death of a 41-year-old husband and father
of two young children from inhalant abuse. The man was found dead clutching a
can of computer cleaner. According to the family, he was suffering from PTSD
from his most recent combat tour and had a long history of risk taking.
The concert itself was set up in order to raise money. Admission
was free, although attendees were highly encouraged to donate to a memorial
fund. Even before the event, it had raised over $8,500. The funds are
designated for educational programs related to the issue and will be
concentrated in Montgomery County Public Schools.
