From the organizers
Run4Recovery 5K Run/Walk raises awareness and funding to support recovering alcoholics and addicts by providing Sober Living Scholarships—offering shelter, stability, and nourishment to those most vulnerable to relapse.
Through the Puente House Foundation (a 501(c)(3) non-profit), we provide safe housing for individuals who may be dealing with homelessness or are escaping environments filled with drug use and violence.
For many, this scholarship is the difference between life and death. It offers a path to reunite with family, rejoin society, and embrace a pro-recovery lifestyle.
