Saturday 12, 2009 marked the first time a Miami Rally for Recovery event had taken place in the major metropolitan area as part of National Recovery Month. The event was hosted by the Internet social-networking recovery site intherooms.com at Bayfront Park.
In order to raise money for recovery scholarships, thousands of people showed their support for the Miami Rally for Recovery and donated money via a charitable walk. The walk comprised of a scenic 5-mile path along the Mac Arthur Causeway bay area.
Additionally, the 2009 Miami Rally for Recovery had guest speakers that delivered specific messages to every age demographic and gender in the family. There were also family oriented activities, great food booths, and incredible music performances which included Richie Supa and Eric Burdon and the Animals.
Overall, the 2009 Miami Rally for Recovery was a great success for the recovery community, both locally and nationally. The event had more than 2,000 walkers and 3,000 in attendance for the music and festivities.
We really hope that the first Miami Rally for Recovery is just the first of many more to come…
