In honor of National Recovery Month, Avenues Recovery Center at Clarksville held a groundbreaking Recovery Block Party and Dodgeball Tournament this past Sunday, the 15th of September. Clarksville's first-ever Recovery Block Party was a smashing success and was well attended by residents from across the entire Clarksville community. Friends, family, supporters, and members of the recovery community came together for a day of friendship, fun and recovery awareness.
The family-friendly event, held on the Avenues campus, featured a fire truck, bounce house, food trucks, live music by DJ Paul Watson, and a thrilling dodgeball tournament. Vendors sold swag and recovery-related items such as T-shirts, handbags, scented goods and meditation cards. In addition, fun educational booths were run by the following organizations: Mercy Street, TruHealing, Recovery Village, Oxford, Breakaway, and Dare for Kids.
The event was graced by the attendance of the Clarksville Police Department, Rep. Wendy Dant Chesser of the Indiana House of Representatives, Clarksville Town Council President Ryan Ramsey, and other politicians and recovery activists in the local community.
Avenues at Clarksville was glad to host local news stations WLKY and News and Tribune, who provided coverage of the event to the local and wider community. See the interviews and articles below!
Avenues Recovery would like to thank all the attendees for contributing to the electrifying atmosphere and supporting the recovery community. With greater awareness and inclusivity we can break the stigma surrounding addiction, and enable everyone to receive the help they need.
