While donations are welcome, our primary goal is visibility, connection, and community engagement. We want people in recovery, family members, treatment professionals, and community supporters to gather in a welcoming environment that celebrates hope and possibility.

Admission is free, and donations are encouraged. To help make this event possible, we are seeking Community Champions to support the Summer Jam through sponsorships:
