The McShin Foundation. Help for those with Chemical Dependency

October 28, 2015 By Carissa Garabedian

mcshin-logo-21The McShin Foundation’s mission is to deliver a message of hope to recovering addicts and alcoholics and to facilitate their journey to a healthier life.

Founded in 2004, The McShin Foundation is Virginia’s leading non-profit, full-service Recovery Community Organization (RCO), committed to serving individuals and families in their fight against Substance Use Disorders. While providing the tools for recovering individuals to create positive lifestyles, we aim to spread the word of recovery and educate families, communities, and government regarding SUDs as well as reduce the stigma attached to them. The McShin Foundation is a great alternative for drug and alcohol treatment, drug and alcohol rehab, and drug and alcohol detox we continue to have the most affordable detox, recovery and sober living residences in the country, we are the Nation’s Leading Recovery Community Center.

As many of you all know the disease of addiction has become an epidemic in this country. In 2013, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) estimated that 24.6 million people 12 or older (9.4 percent of the population) live with a substance dependence or abuse disorder. Unfortunately, that number continues to grow. Over 100 Americans die from overdose deaths each day and about 8,200 Americans die annually from heroin overdoses alone.

On December 7th, The McShin Foundation will be hosting our Annual Holiday Party and Silent Auction at The Crossroads Art Center. We are currently looking for sponsors for the event to assist with the cost of the venue and food, as well as items to be auctioned off at the event. We expect to have over 200 in attendance throughout the evening, including local politicians, educators, business leaders and media personalities from the Richmond area.

Please contact me for more information. Your support will be recognized prior to and throughout the event. Your attendance at the event is also welcomed and appreciated. All donations can be made to The McShin Foundation. We can provide a tax deductible receipt as we are a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Sincerely,

Shawn Nolan
Director of Development
