Ridgeview Alumni Association

ENDOWMENT FUND CAMPAIGN

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

            The Ridgeview Alumni Association is a group of actively recovering alcoholics/addicts who have completed treatment and strive to support the recovery of patients in treatment at Ridgeview, as well as broadening their own lives through fellowship and service.  Our primary purpose is to stay sober and to help others achieve and maintain sobriety, while promoting recovery through fellowship, service and unity.  The only requirement for membership is a desire to serve.

In September of 1998, The Association launched a campaign to establish an Endowment Fund.  The stated purpose and goal of the fund is to solicit capital for preservation and growth through investment.  The Fund can then be utilized to offer assistance for years to come, to Ridgeview patients in treatment helping to address their specific needs. 

The specific needs include but are not limited to, scholarships, grants and loans to cover costs associated with inpatient lodging and meals, professional counseling, clinical assessments, detoxification programs, outpatient day and evening programs, psychiatric care and after care programs.

All gifts to the Endowment Fund are eligible as charitable donations under current federal income, gift and estate tax law.  No gift is too small or too large.  We ask members of the recovery community to donate a minimum of $5 for every year they have been in recovery and accept gifts/donations of any amount from family members, friends, and businesses, corporate matching donations are also greatly appreciated.
