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.

ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES
PARTICIPATE IN RECOVERY VOICES
COUNT CAMPAIGN
GET-OUT-THE- VOTE (GOTV) Recovery Voices Count is part of a national movement
to make it possible for even more of our friends, neighbors and family
members to experience long-term recovery from addiction by building
recognition of the recovery community as a constituency of consequence.
As recovery community organizations and recovery advocates register
voters, educate candidates for public office about key issues and
turn out voters in growing numbers, we will have an even greater
impact on the lives of people who still need help with their addiction,
people in long-term recovery, their family members and communities.
