What Is Row for Recovery?
ROW FOR RECOVERY MONTH IS AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN CREATED BY QUEST TO RAISE MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUNG ADULTS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS WHILE RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE CHALLENGES.
THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER, PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN DAILY ROWING AND PADDLEBOARDING ACTIVITIES, CONNECT THROUGH SHARED RECOVERY STORIES, AND JOIN A COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO BREAKING THE STIGMA SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH.
Why It Matters?
MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES IMPACT MILLIONS OF YOUNG ADULTS EACH YEAR, OFTEN SILENTLY. THE PRESSURES OF COLLEGE, RELATIONSHIPS, IDENTITY, AND LIFE'S CHALLENGES CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING.
ROW FOR RECOVERY MONTH SHINES A LIGHT ON THESE STRUGGLES AND OFFERS HOPE THROUGH CONNECTION, COMMUNITY, AND CONVERSATION. BY PARTICIPATING, YOU ARE HELPING TO BREAK THE STIGMA, ENCOURAGE OPEN DIALOGUE, AND CREATE A CULTURE WHERE HEALING, SUPPORT, AND RECOVERY ARE POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.
TOGETHER, WE CAN CREATE LASTING CHANGE.
