Turning pain into purpose.

to offer families watching their loved one battle addiction, HOPE
to continue to bring awareness of the opioid epidemic
Our Goals
-
Goal #1
To offer an individual the opportunity to start treatment that would otherwise would not have the means to do so. We want to make sure that when a man says, “ok, lets go!” they are able to walk through the door of a treatment facility and begin the road to recovery without having to worry about how he is going to pay.
-
Goal #2
To bring awareness to the opioid epidemic through our annual walk. We want to educate our community about the hundreds of thousands of lives being lost to addiction. We also want to honor those that we have lost too soon.
-
Goal #3
To honor Garrett Joseph Webber. HE is who we walk in honor of. HE is who pushes us to do more for this community. HE is the reason We Walk For Hope.
The Garrett Webber Memorial Scholarship Fund is a non-profit 501c3.
The scholarship fund was created as a way to honor a son and brother lost too soon to addiction. The Webber Family took their loss and used it to create hope for individuals and families walking through addiction. We Walk For Hope is the annual 5k walk that fundraises for The Garrett Webber Memorial Scholarship Fund. The walk also serves as a time for education about the opioid epidemic and remembering loved ones that have been lost to addiction.
Our first annual walk took place in 2018 in partnership with Genesis Recovery. Our hope is that our efforts, and yours, continue to grow the event and the scholarship fund every year. We were fortunate enough early on to share our story in an interview with NBC San Diego.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, we encourage you to reach out and get involved. Help us help those trapped in the prison of addiction.
