🌺🏝️ HELP US RAISE THE ROOF — AND CHANGE LIVES 🏝️🌺

The Portage Recovery Association is gearing up for our biggest summer fundraiser yet, and we’re looking for local businesses, organizations, and community supporters to become sponsors for our Raise The Roof Luau Fundraiser! ☀️🍍

This isn’t just a party. Every dollar raised helps support PRA’s mission of providing a safe, welcoming community space for individuals and families in recovery while helping us tackle major building repairs and improvements to our forever home.

✨ Sponsorship perks include: 🌴 VIP access 🌴 Event banner recognition 🌴 Social media promotion 🌴 Website recognition 🌴 Meal tickets 🌴 Table sponsorships 🌴 Even a CUSTOM drink named after your business at The Next Chapter Café for our Big Kahuna Sponsors 👀🥤

Whether you’re a small business, a family wanting to give back, or someone who simply believes in recovery and community, we would love to partner with you.

Together, we can Raise The Roof and continue building a place where recovery meets community. 💜

It’s the season!!!!!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

The weather forecast is calling for temps in the mid 50s and partly cloudy for the Farmers Market this afternoon. It’s finally MAY which means Summer is on it’s way. Just like last year it appears that NWI fooled us with extra warm temps in April only to experience moderate temps in May, but we’ll take it. There’s no rain or wind in the forecast. Wear your layers and it’ll feel quite nice!

It’s an ARTISAN WEEK and we will have the following artisan vendors joining us: Our Simple Farm, Matt’s Jewelry & Minerals, The Whimsy Wagon, Raven’s Rock Adoption, Grunts 3D Prints, Planters by Shawn, and Fairy Hair & Mermaid Hair by Lea!
