Stand Up for Recovery 2026

Our biggest fundraising event of the year is here—join us for a night of laughter, community, and impact.

With a fundraising goal of $60,000, Stand Up for Recovery brings together the power of comedy, a lively auction, and the strength of community to support the essential recovery services we provide throughout Chittenden County.

What to Expect:

This unforgettable evening begins with an eccentric live auction, featuring items and experience packages generously donated by iconic Vermont businesses. After the auction, enjoy a comedy show headlined by national icon Josh Gondelman, whose warmth and wit have delighted audiences across the country.

How We’ll Reach Our $60,000 Goal:

Through you. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship, every auction bid, and every donation directly fuels our ability to meet this goal. When you take part in this uplifting night, you become an active supporter in the recovery journeys of your neighbors here in Chittenden County.

Why Your Support Matters:

Substance Use Disorder affects far more than one individual—it impacts families, communities, and Vermont as a whole. In 2025, our center saw over 24,000 visits, a 189% increase since 2022. This surge tells a powerful story: more people are reaching out, showing up, and choosing recovery together.

By helping us reach our $60,000 goal, you ensure we can continue offering free recovery services through our 11 programs, all operating out of our community center—open 365 days a year.

At TPCCC, we believe recovery is possible for anyone struggling with addiction. We are here to meet every person who walks through our doors with compassion, dignity, and unwavering support.
