Signed Guitar

DEA collaborated with Nashville-based country music artist and producer Stokes Nielsen through the DEA Survivors Benefit Fund and the DEA Educational Foundation. Through this, DEA was able to have a presence at the 2024 Country Music Awards. 
A mobile version of DEA's Faces of Fentanyl exhibit was set up in the Radio Row area of the Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. As artists made their way through radio row to do media interviews, they also visited the Faces of Fentanyl exhibit and recorded public service announcements for DEA's One Pill Can Kill campaign. 
The One Pill Can Kill Public Awareness Campaign aims to educate the public of the dangers of counterfeit pills and urge all Americans to take only medications prescribed by a medical professional. As part of this project, more than 50 country music artists signed this guitar - Including Dan and Shay, Chase Matthew, Dasha, Old Dominion just to name a few.
