This Is Your Life
The Retreat was founded twenty-eight years ago on a simple premise: recovering people helping recovering people. Those granted a new life in recovery by the selfless work of The Retreat’s volunteers and facilitators then take on the mission of helping others themselves. The ripple effect of just one person assisted is extraordinary.
Each year, the Gala raises vital funds for scholarships, ensuring that those who need and want The Retreat’s compassionate community are not turned away because of financial circumstances. This year’s theme, “This Is Your Life,” is a reminder of what is possible when someone is given the chance to begin again. Your generosity can help make that second chance possible for them and countless others.
