IMPACT 5K:  DASH THRU THE 80s

Join us for an inspiring and impactful day at the inaugural Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center 5K Run/Walk, set to take place on January 26, 2025, at the picturesque Hahamongna Watershed Park in Pasadena. This exciting event is designed to bring together our community in support of a healthier, safer, and more vibrant Pasadena.

Impact has been active in the treatment of addiction for men and women for over 50 years.  Our ability to continue this level of care comes because of the generosity of our supporters.  This event, and the funds raised, will go a long way toward making sure that we can continue the simple promise we make to everyone still lost in the fog of addiction:  we're here when you're ready.
