3rd Annual Ramble for Recovery and Recovery Fair

Many people do not understand that addiction is a treatable disease. This misconception and the stigma associated with addiction can sometimes hinder people from getting effective substance abuse treatment. In 2007, as many as 20.8 million people nationwide needed but did not receive treatment. In celebration of people in long-term recovery and their families, UMPQUA PARTNERS – For a drug-free future joins the nation in an annual observance that takes place during the month of September. National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month provides a platform to celebrate people in recovery and those that serve them.  

On Saturday, September 11, 2010, Umpqua Partners will host the 3rd annual Ramble for Recovery – a 10K Run/5K Walk to celebrate the hope of recovery from addiction through healthy competition. Individuals in recovery, those with family and friends in recovery, or anyone wishing to support the recovering community are welcome to participate.
