Dear friend,

In April of 2022 our family, like so many others lost a young man to addiction. He was 36. He was handsome, funny, loyal, and talented. His times of sobriety allowed him to shine for his mother & father, sisters, children, and anyone who knew him.

Please join us in celebrating those days and in preserving the heritage and history of the birthplace of Bill W. whose inspiration and experience have made recovery possible for millions worldwide.

With gratitude for your support,
Ellen, Ryann, & Shannon
