LANSING – Mid-Michigan Treatment Courts Foundation is hosting a Recovery Reception on
Thursday, October 20 from 5:30-7:30 pm at the University Club of MSU. The purpose of the event is two-fold. One, to celebrate the organization’s 15th anniversary of helping local treatment court participants with financial obstacles that may hinder their progress towards recovery, and two, to raise funds for future support.
Keynoting the event’s program is treatment court graduate Regina Cates who will talk about how the treatment court program and support from the Foundation enabled her to get her life back. Attendees will also enjoy the music of Darin Larner, Jr.
Originally formed as the Ingham County Sobriety Courts Foundation, the 501(c)(3) organization has steadily expanded to include the entire mid-Michigan region. Requests for assistance are made by treatment court probation officers. Some requests include substance abuse counseling fees, dental work, bus passes, drug screening, phones, transitional housing, utility bills, and other needs that threaten a participant’s ability to complete the intensive court-ordered programming and succeed in recovery. During its 15-year presence, MMTCF has helped hundreds of participants handle unexpected bills to help relieve money burdens that may threaten his or her sobriety.
The last two-plus years of COVID have hit the Mid-Michigan recovery community hard and the
MMTCF has been focused on raising funds to meet needs as it expands its service area. "MMTCF has the important job of supporting these vulnerable citizens in the trifecta of stressful situations – maintaining sobriety, learning healthy coping skills all while avoiding COVID in one of the nation's most challenging socio-economic times" says Jerre Cory, MMTCF Executive Director. "Donors can be assured, every contribution goes to helping a treatment court participant address unexpected expenses that may challenge their sobriety. Every donation makes a real difference in someone's life."
