Recovery Walks! is more than a stroll around Bushnell Park. Each year, more than 2000 people get together to show the people who live in Connecticut that recovery is possible. This gives hope to those needing recovery, it reduces the stigma in society towards recovered persons, and it makes our legislators and public officials more aware of the needs of our community.

Without our sponsors, this walk would not be possible. So CCAR wishes to thank all the sponsors listed to the right who have generously donated their time, money, and good will to the Recovery Walks! event this year.

If you have not become a sponsor, please make the choice to do something for all those who need recovery. Your donations help CCAR continue all the work we are doing in our four recovery centers across the state. We have helped literally thousands of people. Someday one of those persons may be a loved one of yours. Please ensure that CCAR will be there if that need ever comes!
