Hosted by BEAR Recovery Foundation in honor of Addiction Recovery Awareness Month, this free community gathering at the Ruby River Hotel focuses on healing, restoration, and building life beyond addiction. Brenton, known as the Bearcrawl Guy, will share his personal journey and speak about the importance of aftercare and how tackling hard things can shape a life people love. The event highlights how treatment and comprehensive aftercare services such as counseling, job training, physical care, and ongoing support help individuals move from initial treatment toward lasting recovery. Proceeds support the BEAR Recovery Foundation’s mission to provide aftercare scholarships that offer continued support, hope, and opportunities to rebuild and reclaim lives. The foundation is a fiscally sponsored project of the Spokane Independent Metro Business Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and contributions are fully tax deductible under FEIN 82-4824582.
