Sharing some photos of Scott from a trip to Wisconsin on a tour Scott went on with in 2019. It was a hot day over the summer and Scott wanted to dip his head in the water. He laid on his stomach and tried to inch to the edge of a rock and ended up tumbling into Lake Michigan, fully submerging himself with his wallet, keys, everything in his pockets. Scott was totally unfazed and pulled himself up onto a rock to dry like a turtle in the sun. He spent the entire evening tipping bartenders with soggy dollar bills. We’ve traveled from Chicago, to New Orleans, to New York with Scott and we’re so lucky to have so many memories with him.

Memories like these—the hilarious moments, the creativity, the sweet side of Scott—is what we carry with us.

We missed Scott so much this year at the annual Super Yamba & Friends Holiday Dance Party. Celebrating Scott through music is our way of keeping these memories alive.

And in Scott’s memory we were able to raise another $1,000 for to close out the year! Thank you to this community of people who love music and care about each other and want a better future for people who use drugs.

Thanks again to all of the musicians who made this possible: .sheff (and & who couldn’t attend.)

If you have a sweet memory of Scott that you’d like to share, please put it in the comments.

We love you Scott. 💛

Friends! This is the beautiful artwork that you’ll start to see around Greensboro, created by the fantastic Brooklyn based designer . Our goal is to get it into bars, venues, tour vans, and more, along with Narcan, so our community is more prepared to assist when someone experiences an overdose.

This year, is dedicating the annual Super Yamba & Friends Holiday show to Scott, who played a huge role in the event over the past few years. All of the funds raised from the show will go to to support this new signage campaign and other initiatives, all in Scott’s memory. We love you Scott and we miss you so much.

We didn’t prepare for a new Covid variant when we kicked this plan off, so we did want to say that if you don’t feel comfortable attending in person, we totally understand. We will go live from this account during the event so you can see some of the music. You can still contribute to the cause via Venmo () and Cash App ($gcstop).

For those who would still like to come, please practice the Covid smart behavior we’ve all learned all to well these past years—do not come if you’re ill, take rapid tests if you think you’ve been exposed, wear a mask, and don’t get really close to people and spew particles into their faces. 😷

Thank you to the musicians who are making this possible: .sheff and more.

Thanks to for DJing and setting this up! Thanks to for hosting—they will have mocktails on the menu for anyone who doesn’t drink.

Thanks to Scott’s family for being supportive of our efforts. Please send them lots of love this holiday season!

Thanks to for the Harm Reduction artwork and for the show poster!

Fentanyl overdose deaths are now the leading cause of death for young people in America. Let’s all do what we can to change that. Supporting orgs like is one way you can make a difference.

Reach out to folks who need to hear from you & to the loved ones of people who have lost their friends and family.

Stay safe out there, friends! We love you!
