ACE's Inhalant Awareness auction opens!


In recognition of National Public Health Week, April 6th -12th, ACE is kicking off its online Inhalant Awareness Auction!

Click here to be directed to ACE's auction page. Please know as you place your bids, you are doing your part in helping ACE reach out to more communities and touch more lives. New items will be added to the auction continuously, so make sure to stay tuned!

This auction was the idea of ACE Board of Trustee Jeff Williams, a Sergeant in the East Cleveland Police Department. In March of 2005, Sgt. Williams lost his son, Kyle, tragically to inhalant abuse. Since then he has dedicated himself to helping spread the word about the dangers of inhalant abuse and preventing others from suffering the same tragic and senseless loss that he and his family have endured. At an ACE Board meeting, Sgt. Williams shared his idea of conducting an online auction as a fundraising tool and a way to raise awareness of Inhalant Abuse.

As part of the public health community we encourage any contributions, outreach efforts, or community dialogue initiated to increase the visibility of inhalant abuse in the general public. For information on Public Health Week please click here.
