 Support Gaudenzia’s Runners for Recovery Team, a group of young men and women working to improve the quality of their lives as they recover from chemical dependency.
The disease of addiction is unique in that it transcends all demographic groups, income levels, races, religions, schools and even work-places. Last year, the Maryland Department of Health reported that one in four families had a loved one in need of addiction treatment. As the leading non-profit drug and alcohol treatment provider in the state of Maryland, Gaudenzia helps people affected by chemical dependency, mental illness and related conditions to achieve a better quality of life allowing them to live as productive individuals. This is accomplished through comprehensive treatment and prevention methods guided by a philosophy of mutual concern and responsibility.
You can help by making a donation to Gaudenzia’s Runners for Recovery Team. Please visit our website www.gaudenzia.org or contact our Community Affairs Office at 410-367-5501 for more information.
