As we approach Emily's 27th birthday on March 23, we're reminded of her vibrant spirit and the impact she continues to have on our community. In her memory, Emily's Hope is thrilled to announce a special initiative in partnership with the Avera Adolescent Addiction Care Center. This year, we're setting a goal to raise $2,700 for a cause close to our hearts: stocking the Avera Adolescent Addiction Care Center's prize box for an entire year. 🤩

Teens progressing through their addiction care journey, engaging in their treatment, and stepping up as peer leaders are rewarded with these prizes—a little boost of encouragement can make a big difference. Popular items among teens include cozy socks, 🧦 durable water bottles, 💧 and nurturing self-care products. 🧴

But why $2,700? Each dollar represents a year of the precious life we celebrate and honor - Emily's life. It's a tribute to her memory and a beacon of hope for many young individuals striving for recovery and leadership.

Let's come together to make this dream a reality. Your contribution, big or small, will directly support these brave adolescents in their journey toward recovery, reminding them that progress, no matter how small, is still progress worth celebrating.

Emily’s Hope is dedicated to removing the stigma of substance use disorder through awareness, education, and prevention; and removing financial barriers for treatment and recovery.
