Hello to all our SMART Family & Friends!

We’re coming to the end of our very first Take on Addiction campaign, and it’s been absolutely amazing. We’ve raised so much awareness for SMART Recovery at the national and international levels, and we know it will make an incredible difference to the lives of people in recovery.

We’ve also raised over $42,000 of our $50,000 USA goal, which is, of course, going to provide us with opportunities to grow SMART Recovery further and to continue supporting people who want to find Life Beyond Addiction.

Today is Global Pay It Forward Day, an initiative that exists to make a difference by creating a huge ripple of kindness felt across the world.

If you are able to participate on behalf of SMART Recovery, we've picked a few fundraisers and teams below:

• C.C. has challenged himself to walk throughout April. Donate to C.C. here. "I used to have an addictive behavior, but I choose not to behave that way anymore. I have 'The Power of Choice!' and have taken back control of my life."
  
  

• Monica Van Steenberg chose to smash stigma and walk through April. Donate to Monica here. "I want to help smash the stigma surrounding addiction."
  
  

• Jesi Beger decided to run during the month of April. Donate to Jesi here. 
  
  

• Traci Buzzeo challenged herself to do weightlifting throughout April. Donate to Traci here. "I want to help smash the stigma surrounding addiction."
  
  

• Our SMART Recovery National Office team is working with staff, vendors, stakeholders, and many dedicated volunteers who have created their own teams to help raise funds and awareness of our mission objectives. Donate to the National Office here.
  
  

• Our SMART Board of Directors team is showing their own support of our campaign to promote our campaign objectives through their own donations, as well as their personal network, family & friends. Donate to the Board of Directors here.
