8th Annual FOA Rally 4 Recovery

​

For seven years in a row, the FOA Families of Addicts Rally 4 Recovery has been changing the conversation about addiction from problem to solution. In 2019, over 3,000 people attended and 72 community partners were present as a resource to those affected by addiction and living in recovery.

​

Our rally is planned by family members and is for anyone touched by addiction. 

​

The 8th Annual Rally 4 Recovery hosted by FOA Families of Addicts will be held on: 

August 29th from 2:00 to 6:00 pm at Courthouse Square in downtown Dayton.

​

NEW AGENDA THIS YEAR:

2 pm to 3 pm – Resource area and food trucks open prior to the rally program
3 pm to 6 pm – Rally program, resource area, food trucks 

​

Thanking our Co-Sponsor: Mahajan Therapeutics 

​

The purpose of the FOA Rally 4 Recovery is:

To unite the people and resources of the Miami Valley to:

  • Eliminate the stigma associated with addiction and mental health disorders

  • Educate about addiction & mental health disorders

  • Celebrate and show that recovery is possible and that it works!

 

Since 2/3 of American families are touched by addiction, this free event welcomes ANYONE to attend.

The event will include:

  • 50 resource tables with information on treatment, recovery, and related support services (A numbered list will be published in the program for easy navigation)

  • Music by DJ Chuck "Mr. Vinegar", Speakers, Food Trucks, Raffle Drawing, Balloon Launch (Eco-friendly balloons, no strings or paper attached), TapSnap Photos, Hope and Memory Canvas signing, and more

Sponsor and Giving Opportunites

A note on our theme for 2021: Maybe It's Time

We believe this is fitting for the challenging times we have experienced over the last year.

​

Sixx:A.M., the hard-rock group Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx formed in 2007, has teamed with a slew of famous faces for a new charity single, “Maybe It’s Time", which will raise money for people recovering from opioid abuse. The recording features Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, country artist Brantley Gilbert, Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody, Slash, members of Awolnation, and Bad Wolves’ Tommy Vext. In the song, the artists sing, “Maybe it’s time to heal, maybe it’s time to try, Maybe it’s time to deal with all the pieces in my life..."

 

This song will also be used for our signature balloon release event. We are excited and hope you are too!
