Emily’s Hope Hosts Fentanyl Awareness Assembly in Rapid City
Emily's Hope is hosting a fentanyl awareness assembly for Rapid City high school students and community members at The Monument on Thursday morning to educate them about the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
Rapid City, SD, November 12, 2026 — A fentanyl awareness assembly is scheduled to take place Thursday morning at The Monument in Rapid City. The event is being hosted by Emily’s Hope and aims to educate local high school students and community members about the significant dangers associated with fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
The assembly will focus on providing information and raising awareness regarding the risks of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid that is significantly more powerful than morphine. Counterfeit pills, which often contain undisclosed amounts of fentanyl, are a particular point of concern in public health messaging.

The location for the assembly is The Monument, a venue frequently used for community events in Rapid City. The timing, set for Thursday morning, is intended to maximize attendance and engagement from both students and community members.
Details regarding specific speakers or the exact duration of the assembly were not provided in the summary. The primary objective remains a comprehensive educational outreach on the critical issue of fentanyl and its pervasive threat.
