6. How can I get the Turn 2 Foundation's support in my area?
While the Turn 2 Foundation wishes we could offer assistance to children throughout the country, we have chosen to support the Western Michigan, New York City and Tampa areas because it is where Derek was raised (Michigan), where he works (New York) and where he lives (Florida).
You may find information about anti-drug programs in your area through your local school district or parks and recreation department.
