The Braidwood Area Healthy Community Coalition (BAHCC) is hosting a fundraiser on June 13th-14th benefiting our mission to work with our neighbors to help ensure a promising tomorrow by preventing substance use and providing opportunities in our community that promote healthy choices. To learn more about what the BAHCC does, please check out our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/braidwoodareahealthycommunitycoalition) or call the office.
The All-Town Garage Sales is a yearly fundraiser held by the First Presbyterian Church in Braidwood. To take part in this event, BAHCC is blocking off our parking lot so community members who are unable to have a yard sale due to apartment living or shared living can rent a "sales spots."
For those attending the parking lot sale, each $10 spent earns a raffle ticket. At the end of the sales on June 14th, we will have our Reed-Custer Prevention Operations (RPO) group (teens) pull raffles during a FB Live. Raffle prizes are NEEDED.
Some of the things we do in the community are:
- Mentor and sponsor the Reed-Custer Prevention Operations (RPO) youth group
- Supply youth prevention education materials to our schools
- Deliver prevention and recovery messaging to the community
- Collaborate with various community organizations to provide drug and alcohol-free activities for youth and to create community change
- Provide opportunities for coalition and youth group members to attend substance misuse prevention
and leadership training events - Offer peer support to those in recovery
- Sponsor and facilitate weekly SMART Recovery Support Groups for those in recovery and for Family & Friends
- Provide substance use resources, safe drug disposal kits, prescription drug lockboxes, and Naloxone
- Sponsor many Braidwood area youth sports teams
