How We Use Proceeds From the Walk
Proceeds from the Recovery Walk will go toward the expenses of the Walk in addition to providing the many recovery support services of The Council and PRO-ACT.
Walk expenses include renting the Great Plaza; parking; booths and tables; billboard and hugestage banner; and other banners and signage. Less obvious expenses are the official and volunteer t-shirts; required additional security and law enforcement; ribbons and buttons for the Honor Guard; refreshments for our 400 volunteers; printing of Walk programs; website maintenance; the Recovery Walk video, and numerous promotional materials.
Recovery Support Services
Proceeds from the Walk also help us to continue our success in offering hope and healing to those wishing to initiate, stabilize, and sustain long-term recovery from addiction. There are approximately 23 million Americans living in recovery today, holding jobs, paying taxes, and living with respect in their communities. You may not recognize them as being in recovery--but they are among your neighbors, co-workers, family members, and community leaders. We're grateful that, with your support, we are able to continue to provide services to many in our communities.
PRO-ACT offers these services in four recovery community centers and a training center where we provide mutual support, training, and a place to volunteer for committees. Trained recovery coaches, certified peer specialists and mentors provide tools for sustaining recovery; financial planning; employment consulting; health, education and housing information; and encourage participation in community service. Those individuals and families, pregnant mothers, veterans and the unemployed who benefit reclaim lost lives and improve their well-being and the well-being of their communities. They, in turn, can offer invaluable assistance to others seeking long-term recovery.
