Addicted to Hope

The 1982 Foundation held their third annual Recovery Month Event on the campus of Avalon, Saturday, September 21st, 2024. Event organizer, Aaron Spaur has been no stranger to the struggles of addiction but in celebrating his 13th year of sobriety, he now shares hope with those who stand along side him in recovery, and those who are in the midst of the battle.

Guest speakers shared soul stirring testimony of their battles with addiction and the cost, but also the wonderful experience of the successes.
