Our annual Road to Recovery Walk/Run Fundraiser

Under perfectly sunny skies, a record number of walkers participated in Renascent’s 2023 Road to Recovery Walk/Run. The annual fundraising event was a great success, surpassing its fundraising goal by raising $12,300.

“We are incredibly grateful for this event’s many participants and donors, who raised funds that Renascent will use toward our life-changing programs,” said Laura Bhoi, CEO, Renascent. “The importance of this cause and the impact of our supporters cannot be understated. Everyone’s tremendous efforts and their donations help us ensure that the cost of treatment is not a barrier for those who need addiction treatment.”

The group walk, which was held on June 10, 2023 at Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto, saw a record number of teams and participants. Attendees completed a five-kilometer walk, which provided stunning views of Toronto’s skyline. Afterwards, participants were invited to enjoy lunch at the Keating Pub and Grill, located on the city’s waterfront.

“We are overwhelmed by everyone’s outstanding support and commitment to this event. Now in its fourth year, it warms our hearts to see Road to Recovery Walk/ Run grow in size each year,” said Tania Archer, Director of Business Development and Philanthropy. “We are grateful to all of the alumni, donors, family members, staff and board members who made the day memorable.”

Since Renascent Road to Recovery started, the event has raised more than $105,000 for Renascent’s Mission.

Our 29th Annual Recovery Shot Golf Tournament

Golfers took to the green for Renascent’s 29th annual Recovery Shot golf tournament, raising a total of $207,000 at the sold-out event. Over 140 golfers participated at the tournament, held on September 20, 2023 at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, in support of Renascent’s life-saving addiction recovery programs.

“It’s great to see a growing number of people support Recovery Shot and Renascent’s Mission. We’re incredibly pleased to sell out the course this year and are thrilled guests had a memorable day,” says Guy Bonnell, Tournament Chair. “Each person’s participation and every sponsorship Renascent Foundation receives is powerful; they bring about a life-saving transformation for the clients Renascent serves.”

The day included delicious food, silent and live auctions, a 50/50 draw, prizes, games, and moving alumni stories. Renascent alumni and SportsNet host, Justin Bourne, also returned to emcee the dinner portion of the event.

Through Recovery Shot, Renascent Foundation raises funds that help remove the barriers many people face in accessing addiction treatment. The generous support the tournament receives through donations from private individuals and corporations help people recover from drug and alcohol addiction, rebuild their lives, and reconnect with their community.

“It was heartwarming to see the tremendous support we received at this year’s Recovery Shot Golf Tournament,” said Laura Bhoi, CEO, Renascent. “Our teams are deeply committed to our Mission and work tirelessly toward making life-saving care a reality. Renascent has always played a critical role in providing high-quality addiction treatment to those in need, and through the generous support of our individual and corporate donors we can continue to provide care to those who seek our help.”

To date, the tournament has raised over $3 million to support addiction recovery.
