We put on our running shoes and got our heart rates up for a great cause at Benton-Franklin Recovery Coalition’s annual fundraiser, the 5K Run for Recovery on September 14, 2024, in Pasco, Washington! Joel Chavez, CHPW Regional Manager, made sure to stretch and hydrate before taking off to join the community to run for recovery.
Recovery looks different for individuals but one thing is certain, educational organizations, like Benton Franklin Recovery Coalition, are essential to connect community members with community partners to help in the recovery process. We were honored to sponsor this fundraiser to support their work advocating for addiction treatment and recovery services. At CHPW, we believe working in collaboration with community partners is essential to respond to the specific needs of our members, remove barriers, and ensure quality care.
National Recovery Month is celebrated in September to promote and support new treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible.
Benton Franklin Recovery Coalition advocates for modified practices in medicine, the legal system and other areas to address substance use disorder. In addition, they provide educational materials and hold meetings and forums to teach about addiction, and thereby remove stigma, shame, and secrecy from it.
Thank you, Benton Franklin Recovery Coalition, for your work to help community members heal and for your continued partnership to ensure all communities have the opportunity to thrive and look forward to a healthy future.
