Slideshow of Photos from the Chris Atwood Foundation Tenth Anniversary Bash

Slideshow of photos from The Chris Atwood Foundation 10th Anniversary Bash on May 6, 2023.

This was a riff on our usual “Hope in Motion” spring FUNdraising event, but this year was our 10th anniversary so we highlighted that.

We had activities for all ages including:

Smokin’ Willy’s on-site grilling
Kids games
Music
Petting zoo
Lawn games
Wellness activities
Raffle prizes
Birthday cake

The CAF supports all paths to recovery from substance use disorder, and one of the foundational philosophies of harm reduction is to celebrate “any positive change” that improves health and wellbeing.

In that spirit, we’re inviting you to join us in supporting The CAF’s mission through any movement you choose! Walk, run, hike, bike, swim, practice yoga, dance, jump rope – however you choose to move your body to support recovery and honor our loved ones we have lost to substance use disorder.

We encourage you to create fundraising teams, post pictures, and get the kids, your friends, and neighbors involved to help us raise much needed funds that will allow The CAF to continue its critical mission of saving lives and supporting recovery.

Hope In Motion

We are having a “Pender Parking Lot Party” to raise funds for The Chris Atwood Foundation in conjunction with their Hope in Motion event that is taking place on May 1st.

Please visit: www.thecaf.org for more information on the amazing ways the money we raise will be used to provide free harm reduction and recovery support services and advocacy for people impacted by substance abuse.

There are two ways to join our team:

1. Sign up on the foundation’s site at www.thecaf.org/events and register to join the “Pender Parking Lot Party” team. The cost to do this will be $30.

2. Or Sign up here and simply bring a donation of any amount to the event itself! Donations can be made in the form of checks made payable to: The Chris Atwood Foundation or in the form of cash.

Every single dollar we collect will go directly to supporting this worthy cause.We have a goal to raise $5,000 but wouldn’t it be wonderful to raise more? And you can be a part of that!

No donation is too small.

Spring Prayer Breakfast Tomorrow

04 Mar

In conjunction with the Chris Atwood Foundation (click on this link for more information), the UMW is proud to present its Spring Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, March 5, from 9am to noon.

Our topic will be addiction, recovery, and ending the stigma surrounding addiction.

Our presentation will feature multiple speakers from Pender and our community. Men AND women are welcome!

Please join us, and bring a friend, as we seek to shed light on a topic that too often is kept in the shadows.
