News-Impact-Advocacy  September 27, 2017 Recovery Walks! 2017 On Saturday, September 23, Recovery was alive and well in Philadelphia. The sun was shining brightly as individuals, families, local and state Legislators and government leaders, and multiple treatment providers arrived at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia to celebrate and show their support for Recovery. The 27,000 Walkers were led by the Honor Guard, comprised of 342 individuals representing over 6000 years of Recovery. Every year, the participation in Recovery Walks! Increases. Reducing the stigma of addiction is achieved through education, advocacy and presenting evidence that Recovery is Possible. Some highlights from the Advocacy Village include registering 35 new voters, providing education and support for tobacco cessation, pain management and stress reduction, and information for Veterans. The commitment and hard work of over 400 volunteers from PRO-ACT and other organizations is evident in all aspects of the event. We are grateful for the 39 financial sponsors and over 50 supporting organizations that helped make the Walk a success again this year. Thank you to all who organized, attended, and supported Recovery Walks! 2017.  2017 Sponsors and Supporters Thomas Jefferson Stop & Surrender Recovery Liberation Way Livengrin Malvern Institute CATCH PHMC/Forensic Services Self Help Movement Wedge Recovery Mirmont Treatment Centers Fairmount Behavioral Health Clean and Sober Media Philadelphia Counseling Center Gift of Life Program RHD:  Resources for Human Development NHS:  Parkside Recovery Seabrook House JEVS Eagleville Hospital David's New Day          Pinnacle Treatment/Endeavor House   DBHIDS Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission Gaudenzia Life of Purpose Mayor's D&A Executive Committee Belmont Behavioral/White Deer Run Magellan Behavioral Health Alkermes GEO Retreat Premier Addiction First National Bank of Newtown Recovery Centers of America I Heart Radio Community Council Health Systems Center for Integrative Medicine Be a Part of the Conversation Bucks County Bank Caron Treatment Centers Horizon House Inc.
