Planning Committee
President & CEO
Jill Cichowicz
Jill founded “2 End The Stigma,” to help individuals struggling with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and to fulfill her desire to erase the stigma and educate others on the disease of addiction. Her commitment to this purpose began as a way to honor her twin brother and create a legacy for his name after he died from an accidental fentanyl poisoning in February 2017. Her participation on the national Purdue Pharma Ad Hoc Victim's Committee is instrumental in helping those affected to move on from the devastation of losing a loved one to a disease that could have been prevented.
