This is Team Volunteers, named for the ultimate volunteer, Dale Dietz! Captain Dale (AKA Kathie's Husband, Master Schlepper, and Guitar Stringer) has been a faithful servant to the needs of Hope Creates from day one, and what better way to honor his volunteer legacy than to continue the tradition of Team Captain Dale.

We're excited to come together to participate in Share the Art of Sobriety, a fundraiser supporting Hope Creates. Our collective passion for this cause drives us, and we need your support to make a difference! Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people lose their lives to drug- and alcohol-related causes. (CDC drug stats & alcohol stats) While the number of overdose deaths has descreased over the past few years, the number is still too high. 

For every $1 - yes, $1.00 - invested in recovery and prevention, $12 is saved.

For every $100,000 (our goal today) invested, $1,200,000 is saved in lost wages, medical care and other expenses incurred by the misuse of substances. 

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Literally every dollar counts!
• Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you so much for your support! We couldn’t do this without you!
