“Match Your Years” Fundraiser

  • Every day in recovery is worth celebrating—and worth sharing. Match Your Years invites people in recovery to give a recurring monthly gift equal to the number of years they’ve been sober. If you have 1 year or less, you give $1 a month; 5 years, $5 a month; 20 years, $20 a month.

    Your donation honors your own journey while creating hope and resources for others still finding their way. Together, we can turn every milestone into a lifeline for the recovery community.

    Join us. Celebrate your time. Help change a life.

  • It’s up to you! Every dollar makes a difference. Visit the “about” page on our website to learn where your dollars will be going.
