The consequences of drug use – This is what we found when we went inside a burned down factory in Holyoke Mass. This man named Tony and two others were living inside this factory with no windows, no doors, and part of the roof missing. All Tony asked of us was to share his story so that other people would see the effects of drug addiction and not follow in his foot steps. If you would like to donate anything Clothes, Food, Water….etc. please email us at [email protected] or find us on Facebook @Tonito Eminente @Jesus Anavitate @Memin Calidad. Thanks
Mikey’s 5K Road Race Corporate Sponsorship To benefit the MCH Scholarship Fund
Event on 2012-07-12 13:00:00
REGISTRATION BEGINS AT 8:00A.M.
RACE BEGINS AT 9:30 A.M.
The race will be in Worcester, the details of the route are being finalized and will be posted soon!
This annual 5K road race benefits a scholarship fund awarded to students enrolled in the Addiction Counselor Program, in memory of Michael Calvin Hamblin, a much loved brother, son, nephew, cousin, grandson and friend. Mikey was a strong, smart, and funny young man who fought many battles in his short life. Sadly, Mikey was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia just after his 23rd birthday, and passed away only 8 months later. At his end, drug addiction still held the title of his most deadly battle. Mikey was so afraid he would not have a chance to recover or make a difference in this world. He always felt that, with the right program, he could have beat that battle with drug addiction, but he never got that chance. It is our goal, as his family, to be sure he is never forgotten, and that his memory will live on to help others with similar struggles. Each year our family raises money for a scholarship fund we started in Mikey's memory to help people who have faced similar struggles. This scholarship is awarded to 1-2 deserving students enrolled in the ACE (Addiction Counselor Program) at Westfield State College and/or Adcare Hospital. This program is dedicated to helping individuals in their struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. Many of us can relate to these struggles directly, whether they are our own or those of a loved one. This year we are introducing corporate donation levels which will include varying levels of advertising possibilities. As this is our first year, we hope that your organization will help us make this a big success as well as help us forge strong relationships with your business. We will work hard to make this a wonderful, community based event that everyone can stand behind and benefit from! Support is one of the most crucial steps in recovery, and we intend to be part of that for as many individuals as we can. I hope that many of you will take the time to do so as well. We thank you all in advance. And so does Mikey!
