Coalition Member Spotlight

Dani Crabtree
Linn County Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Coordinator

Volunteering with Linn Together allows me to connect with the community to provide prevention education to youth and families as well as raise awareness about substance use issues in our county.

I have a lot of fun at our events and am grateful for the opportunities to interact with the kids and community. Plus, if an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then Linn Together’s efforts weigh heavily in favor of a positive future for today’s youth.

I love being a part of Linn Together for many reasons. The mission aligns with my belief that substance abuse harms our community in countless ways.

Linn Together is comprised of awesome people working for a greater good.

Being a volunteer for Linn Together is extremely rewarding. I have the opportunity to work with an amazing group of people dedicated to sharing prevention information and support to our youth, parents, families and communities about alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other drugs.

They work tirelessly and are committed to instilling in our youth the dangers of substance use and help inspire them to make healthy choices.

Linn County is fortunate to have Linn Together members working as a team to help our communities be a safe place for our youth . They are our future.
