Blair Drug & Alcohol Partnerships Sponsoring Recovery Walk

Nationally, we are seeing a movement that has provided encouragement to speak out regarding the process of recovery from addiction. People in recovery represent many walks of life, yet have one thing in common: the desire to share the hope with others.

Rise for Recovery, Blair County started as a way to support the recovering community in organizing the voice and face of recovery locally. Stigma is not gone, but the hope is that through this effort, locally, the message can be changed.

Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022, we Blair Drug & Alcohol Partnerships will celebrate recovery with the Central PA Recovery Walk at Legion Park in Hollidaysburg.

Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. and the walk starts at 11 a.m. The first 100 participants who register on the day of the event will receive a free t-shirt and all children will receive a free Rise for Recovery bracelet. The walk will begin at Legion Park and end at the Blair County Courthouse.

Following, there will be a rally where we will hear from a person in recovery, a family member, elected officials, and other community members. A free lunch will be provided at Zion Lutheran Church following the rally.
