5,000 MARCH ACROSS BROOKLYN BRIDGE TO DEMONSTRATE UNITY
This year’s Rally was extraordinary in a number of ways. Most obvious was the human bridge of recovery that spanned the Brooklyn Bridge and led into Manhattan. New Jersey’s participants began the day with a ferry ride to the base of the bridge in Brooklyn. From there they walked to Cadman Park, where fellow recovery celebrants from New York and Connecticut were assembled. The annual Rally for Recovery always walks a fine line between celebration and lament. There is rejoicing in the many who have emerged from addiction who have been returned to their families and communities. But the celebrating is tempered with an awareness that, in many cases because of limited treatment availability, thousands are missing, having never found their way into recovery.

30,500 Rally For Recovery
Foremost of the elements unique to this Rally was that its New Jersey sponsors joined with national and New York groups to establish the event as the national hub of Recovery Month, evidenced by the presence of the new director of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Terry Cline.

Rally For Recovery Slated for September 27, 2008
Friend's signature event is the annual Rally for Recovery. The Rally shows New Jerseyans that addiction recovery is a reality, and gives hope to individuals and families still affected by the throes of addiction. It also offers those fortunate enough to be in recovery the chance to share in another’s recovery and is also an opportunity to present a gift to the public.
