The third annual Sober Bash brings the recovery community together for a day of connection, celebration, and remembrance. Attendees can expect food, music, raffles, games, and other activities, all centered on supporting one another in recovery and honoring those who are no longer with us. A cornhole tournament is part of the day, with a $100 entry fee per team, waived for sober home and halfway house teams. Vendors are welcome for a $25 participation fee, and organizations may set up resource tables at no cost when they bring their own table. To submit the name of a loved one to be honored, email MariosMissionNP@gmail.com. A rain plan is in place with a backup date. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and the spirit of the gathering focuses on recovery, remembrance, and rising together.
