Kudos: Celebrating Miles for Recovery 2020 - 2021

The month of September has come and gone. It is with much appreciation I want to thank all our participants who braved these crazy times and participated in this months Miles for Recovery Event. You did not let the smoke or COVID and its many consequences get in your way. You turned these challenges into motivation and moved forward knowing both your physical and mental health would be better for participating.

Many kudos to our partner, Carson Valley Medical Center, for partnering with us 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 several weeks 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.

Both the smoke and COVID are not unlike the difficulties many face daily who are in recovery from mental health & substance abuse challenges.
