The Ride for Recovery is a family fun and fitness event and a fundraiser for Dawn Farm. There will be bike rides, runs and walks with opportunities to participate at any fitness level. Registration includes “Fun Day at the Farm” for riders/runners/walkers and their families – food, hayrides, tours of the working farm, kid’s activities in the Dawn Farm Community Barn, and more!  We’ll have a “Recovery Celebration” (with hot food!) from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.  All rides, jogs, and walks start and end at Dawn Farm in Ypsilanti.  Helmets are mandatory for all riders! The event is supported by Team MANA, a cycling team of nurse anesthetists in Michigan who fundraise though biking.

In addition to a fun event that the entire family can enjoy, the Ride for Recovery provides an opportunity to support a critical community service.  Founded in 1973, Dawn Farm provides effective, compassionate and hope-filled professional care to members of our community who struggle with alcohol/other drug problems.  Dawn Farm’s continuum of services includes residential treatment, detoxification services, outpatient treatment, transitional housing, and community outreach programs that meet people with addictions where they are, whether in the mainstream of society, on the streets or in jail.  Dawn Farm is committed to helping people find recovery, regarding of their ability to pay. Community support for events like the Ride for Recovery helps to keep these vital services available for those who need them most!
