RECOVERY RALLY

Join us on Saturday, September 27th for The Recovery Project in New York City, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. Join thousands of people from across the country for an historic walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to celebrate the promise of recovery. Together, we can make a difference.

The Recovery Rally is produced by A&E Network in partnership with the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependence (NCADD). Click here to register (the first 3,000 registrants receive a free t-shirt! T-shirts will be distributed on site).
