Dan Provost Walk for Recovery

Dan Provost Memorial Walk for Awareness and Recovery will be a 1.5 mile family-friendly walk around the Skidmore Campus. Registration, games and activities begin @ 10:00 am, walk @ 11:00 am. Dan Provost lived his entire life in Saratoga Springs and passed away in 2014, at age 23, as a result of a drug overdose, after struggling for several years with substance use disorder. The purpose of this Memorial Walk is to remember lives taken too soon, raise awareness of addiction, educate the community about recovery services, and celebrate those living in recovery. Proceeds of this event will benefit Recovery Advocacy In Saratoga (RAIS) and the Healing Springs Recovery Community & Outreach Center. RAIS is the volunteer collective voice of hope for individuals and families impacted by addiction. Its mission is to reduce stigma, educate and advocate for quality services. Healing Springs Recovery Community & Outreach Center is a substance free, supportive, recovery-oriented facility offering a safe place to be on the journey in recovery. It is a peer-driven and peer-delivered support services-based organization. It also connects individuals and families to recovery resources. RAIS and Healing Springs are programs of The Prevention Council.
