Sozo Recovery June Newsletter
Here’s what has happened in the last month and what’s to come!
As we reflect on the month of May, I am reminded of the strength that comes from unity. This past month, Sozo Recovery Center was blessed by the outpouring of support from our community — not just through financial giving or attendance at events, but through the spirit of belief in the mission of recovery.
From the energy at our Annual Golf Tournament to the powerful presence during the Survivors Poker Run, your involvement sends a clear message: every man deserves the chance to recover, rebuild, and reclaim his life.
We also continue to deepen our partnerships with local agencies like 100 Families and the Hot Springs Community Resource Center, working together to ensure no man walks this road alone.
To our donors, volunteers, referral partners, and friends — thank you. Your support is more than appreciated; it’s essential. You are part of every changed life, every restored family, and every man who walks out of our doors with hope in his heart.
With gratitude,
Brad Lovan, Executive Director
