The month of March seemed to fly by. Many of our participants for this event were also flying by racking up hundreds of minutes of activity. It is with much appreciation I want to thank all our participants who braved these crazy times and participated in this month’s Minutes for Recovery Event. You did not let any challenge get in your way of being active You turned all challenges into motivation and moved forward knowing both your physical and mental health would be better for participating.

Many kudos to Carson Valley Medical Center for partnering with Tahoe Youth & Family Services this year. We are working together to improve the lives of our community by offering behavioral health services ensuring families can be provided quality timely services.
Thank you to Anytime Fitness for being our Premier Sponsor. Their generosity allowed Tahoe Youth & Family Services to provide fun swag to all participants that we all will enjoy for months to come. Kudos to C.O.D. Casino for helping us advertise our event for the month of March on their marque.
Due to the fundraising challenges, we faced caused by COVID, our sponsors were extremely generous this year by going above and beyond. It is clear they understand the need in our community for affordable Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services. The following sponsors helped this event be successful: Bing Materials, Carson Valley Accounting, Coffee on Main, Ricky and Cynthia Decarlo, Intero Real Estate, Les Schwab, State Farm and Stor-All. Thank you all for your generosity, support and caring.
Kudos to Tahoe Youth & Family Services Fundraising committee whose generosity with both their time and talents was amazing. Our success in large part is due to all their hard work and passion for our mission. As the Executive Director I could have not done this alone.
