“On Friday, October 10th, I had the privilege of attending RAW’s Annual Recovery Gala, held at the Monroe Golf and Country Club. The event brought together many community members and organizations, including Monroe County Community College, Paula’s House, Family Medical Center, and Oaks of Righteousness. We were honored to hear from prominent speakers like Senator Joe Bellino, Heather Frederick, Paula Whitman, and Sarah Derigo. The evening featured a wonderful dinner, a silent auction, and an especially moving moment when a brave woman shared her personal recovery journey. The overwhelming support from our recovery community made the night both inspiring and enjoyable. I am truly grateful to have been part of such a meaningful event and am already looking forward to next year’s Recovery Gala.” – Christa Foster Peer Recovery Coordinator.
