Press release: Taking steps to end addiction

Global Lingo is proudly partnering with Shatterproof to raise awareness and reverse the U.S addiction crisis

Global Lingo, a leading Language Service Provider (LSP), announced today its partnership with Shatterproof, a national nonprofit organization committed to reversing the course of the addiction crisis in the United States.

“Our partnership with Shatterproof gives us an opportunity to use our resources to address the devastating addiction crisis impacting communities across the U.S.”

– Karl Eastwood, CEO of Global Lingo

To kick off the partnership, Global Lingo will participate in the Shatterproof Chicago Walk on Saturday, September 30, 2023. Global Lingo has set a goal to raise $4,356 through the walk – a figure that symbolizes a call to action for our 9 walkers to ask 22 people to donate $22 each in honor of the 22 million people in the U.S. living in recovery.

In addition to raising awareness, Global Lingo has committed to providing $10,000 worth of language solutions support over the next 12 months. This support aligns with Global Lingo’s mission of ensuring inclusivity through language.

Revenues raised from the Shatterproof Chicago walk support Shatterproof’s work in advocating for changes in federal and state policy as well as programming focused on saving lives and changing the conversation about addiction.
