Our Goals

Program Goal

Ride for Recovery Event Goal

To raise awareness for adding exercise to one's recovery plan; To raise money for a local 501c3 who has a mission toward advancing sobriety in the recovery community.

Our Reason

When an addict commits to a recovery plan, the body becomes chemically unbalanced in its levels of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. This can cause severe depression and other major side effects if left unchecked. By adding an exercise program to a recovery plan, the body produces those same chemicals; keeping the addict healthy physically, emotionally and mentally. Most importantly, it will keep them strong in their sobriety.
Our Committee

The Committee will bring overall direction to the "Ride for Recovery" mission. To review and select candidates who will receive the proceeds from the Spring event. Assist in promotion and networking the Ride for Recovery cause with other individuals and organizations.
