Dear Potential Donor,

We are happy to announce that Inland Valley Recovery Services’ (IVRS) 16^th Annual Chili Cook-off fundraiser will be held on Friday, October 6^th, 2023 in the courtyard of Upland City Hall. Our popular event will again be sponsored by the Miller Family Foundation

Proceeds from preceding years have been used to enhance IVRS’s wide range of treatment program services, including the recent completion McMillen Park, an outdoor recreation area for men and children in our residential program. We are extremely excited to have recently celebrated 60 years of service to our community. So this year’s special focus will be “Building for the Future” to support our critical infrastructure needs. We have many structural needs in our buildings such as new roofing, painting and renovations. These improvements will also support our future sustainability, for example by allowing us to transition to renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency. Our fundraising goal for this year’s event is $100,000.

Since our first Chili Cook-Off in 2006, our sponsors and guests have generously donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to help IVRS enhance and expand our services. Thanks to those contributions, we will continue to be a premier agency serving San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles Counties. We encourage you to visit our website at www.inlandvalleyrecovery.org and to follow us on social media to learn more. 

We invite you to partner with us by sponsoring a table, donating items for auction, or helping in other ways listed on the attached brochure. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your generous support.

Sincerely,

Stephani Sutherland               Tina K. Hughes
