A Year to Remember: The Power of WE

A YEAR TO REMEMBER - 2021
THE POWER OF WE - LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT ROADRECOVERY for
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS

LAST 2021 CHANCE TO DONATE TO ROAD RECOVERY

2022? or 2020, too? Whatever it might be, it has truly been a year to remember. ROADRECOVERY is 'Playing It Forward' through the ups and downs, the opens and closes, the tours and last-minute event cancellations. But one thing never stopped:
The Power of WE

WE held our first Gala!
A Visionary Evening & Concert, in partnership with Lighthouse Guild, where we gathered our celebrity supporters, music industry professionals, and our sponsors together for an inspiring evening in-person of hope and change. All donors during the holiday period (now) until end of the year will receive a magic link to watch the performances (including Simon Kirke and Darryl DMC McDaniels) after you donate!

A Visionary Evening & Concert to benefit Road Recovery. Donate now thru 12/31/21 and receive a MAGIC LINK to watch the entire event from The Cutting Room.

In 2022, WE will still be right here, doing what we do to support youth and be the WE that they need us to be.

The changes that happened this past year are not so distant from changes that young people are navigating every single day. But you, our ROADRECOVERY community, have helped us spread The Power of WE to more and more young people. Personally, WE can’t wait to see what 2022 (not 2020, too) brings.

ROADRECOVERY's ROCK-N-RIDE at BEST BUY TO SUPPORT CYCLENATTI YOUTH & “YOU’RE NOT ALONE” T-SHIRT CAMPAIGN

Road Recovery's Rock-N-Ride awareness/support campaign at Best Buy in Paramus, NJ. Thank You for supporting our charity Best Buy!

WE fundraised and created awareness through our annual Rock-N-Ride event, with local supporters and our new board member, Darryl McDaniels (Run-DMC)

When Best Buy's General Manager, Robert Terrezza, discovered Cyclenatti BMX teen riders practicing their tricks in his parking lot as they were gearing up to get involved in ROADRECOVERY’s Rock-N-Ride ‘You’re Not Alone’ t-shirt campaign with Macy's and Partnership to End Addiction, he had to get involved and give back! Robert hosted an event at his Paramus, NJ store where he and members of the Best Buy retail staff, including the Geek Squad, shared about their lives and job experiences at Best Buy. The Best Buy team provided all the young cyclists with a goodie bag containing some JLAB headphones, Best Buy gift cards, but most importantly, Robert handed out his business card and offered to help anyone who was interested in exploring employment opportunities at Best Buy. Thank You Robert Terrezza and his staff at Best Buy for their support and interest in providing opportunities for our amazing youth!
