McAlister Institute will hold its 11th Annual 5K Walk for Sobriety on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at NTC Park at Liberty Station. The Walk is an opportunity to bring help and hope to thousands of individuals and families braving the unforgiving cycle of addiction. The Walk for Sobriety is not only an opportunity to raise funds for life-saving services, but also a positive way to increase awareness, support the power of recovery, and fight the stigma many people with substance use disorders experience. Jeanne McAlister, founder of the McAlister Institute, is celebrating her 91st birthday and 67th year of sobriety. All proceeds from the Walk for Sobriety benefit McAlister Institute, one of San Diego's leading resources for individuals and families impacted by addiction. McAlister Institute helps bring life-saving services in substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, life skills education and vocational training to individuals. McAlister Institute’s mission is to save lives by ensuring affordable, quality treatment for every individual and family who seeks help, striving not to turn anyone away regardless of financial issues. Check-in and registration will begin on-site at 8 A.M. Registration costs $35 per adult and $5 per child (ages 12 and under). “Since 1977, hundreds of thousands of individuals suffering from addiction have passed through the doors of McAlister Institute, and not one of them – not one – has chosen to become an addict,” said Jeanne McAlister, Founder and CEO of McAlister Institute. “Treatment solutions shouldn’t discriminate who gets help. That’s why we keep our doors open to everyone.” The pet-friendly event welcomes walkers, runners, and online supporters to help spread a powerful message on the day of the Walk by wearing the number of days they—or their loved ones—have been clean and sober, and what it means to them.
