Event Description

Join us for "Live to Rise: Fun Run for Recovery," an informal walk/run accessible to all skill levels. This uplifting event will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 10 AM to 2 PM EST, with the run beginning at 11 AM. Our goal is to unite those in recovery with the larger community, including law enforcement officers and county legal system workers, to raise awareness, promote unity, and encourage prosocial activity.

Additional Support: Narcan and Test Strips: Free Narcan, as well as Fentanyl and Xylazine test strips, will be distributed.

Fundraising Efforts: We are raising funds for Sober DuCo, a local division of The Phoenix, a National Sober Active Community. Sober DuCo hosts pro-social events for anyone with 48 hours of sobriety and focuses on providing exercise opportunities for those in recovery and their allies multiple times a week in Jasper. The organization recently acquired new gym space but needs equipment and other supplies to accommodate workouts. All event proceeds will go to Sober DuCo to assist in purchasing exercise equipment for the gym.

This event is open to all community members, and everyone is encouraged to attend. Let's come together to support recovery, build a stronger community, and have a great time at the "Live to Rise: Fun Run for Recovery."
