Rafting For Recovery, Fundraising Event
September 08, 2024
The Carbon County Commissions named September as National Recovery Month in the county. Public Defender, Paul Levy, has been focusing on people in our local community who are suffering from addiction/mental health issues and getting them the help that they need. Breaking through the stigma of addiction and mental health issues is important. We want to help support those who take the necessary steps to recover from those issues by sponsoring a whitewater rafting fundraiser.
In coordination with the Public Defender’s and Prosecutor’s offices, we encourage you to support those in recovery by joining our “Rafting for Recovery” fundraising event on the Lehigh River. Proceeds from this event will go directly toward those who are in the recovery phase of mental health crises or substance abuse.
This fundraising event includes a presentation by Pennsylvania Attorney General, Michelle Henry, a Family Style Whitewater Rafting Trip, an all-you-can-eat BBQ lunch midway, all necessary rafting equipment (life jacket, raft, paddle, shuttle to/from the river), free parking, and a great day on the water with your friends and family.
