🎉 Congratulations to Our Raffle Winners! 🎉

This year’s Fresh Start Recovery Motorcycle Raffle and 50/50 draw were an incredible success thanks to the generosity, gratitude, and community spirit of so many.

💰 50/50 Winner: Doug Webster – taking home $21,605
🏍 Motorcycle Winner: Joseph Fagan – the proud new owner of a 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide CVO – ST, valued at over $55,000

A heartfelt thank you to Steve Grover and Grover Law for their donation of this year’s motorcycle and for their continued commitment to our community. Steve’s generosity extends far beyond this event — at his annual Christmas Party, he’ll be giving away a motorcycle to attendees and unveiling the next motorcycle donation for Fresh Start Recovery.

To everyone who purchased tickets, shared the raffle, or supported us in any way — thank you. Proceeds from this fundraiser go directly toward housing, treating, and supporting individuals and families impacted by addiction.

Together, you are helping to save lives and create ripples of hope that reach far beyond this draw. 💙

Thank you for riding in Alberta’s Greatest Bike Run – Fresh Start Recovery’s Annual 12-Stop Ride for Recovery!

This past Saturday’s Ride for Recovery was nothing short of amazing. It would not have been possible without the generosity, gratitude, and community spirit that so many brought together.

A heartfelt thank you to Steve Grover from Grover Law Firm for the incredible gift of the motorcycle and for all that he continues to do for the community. Steve’s generosity extends far beyond this event, and his ongoing commitment reminds us how powerful it is when we come together. Keep your eyes open for his Christmas party, where he will reveal next year’s motorcycle — another incredible way he gives back.

We are proud to have had Calgary Harley-Davidson as our presenting sponsor this year. Their partnership and dedication to the recovery community helped make this day possible, and we are truly grateful for their support.

We are also deeply thankful to Cochrane Toyota for hosting us at the last stop with such hospitality, and to Tecbound Technology for their generosity in helping us make this event a success.

To our clients and volunteers, thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us. To our eclectic Fresh Start family, thank you for the countless late nights, for picking up the load of others, and for your dedication to creating ripples of hope and healing in the lives of so many.

And finally, a giant thank you to the community — our community — for showing up, supporting, and reminding us that recovery is not walked alone.

Together, with the support of our sponsors, partners, and community, we are building something bigger than ourselves. I am already looking forward to what we will create together next year.

With gratitude,

Bruce Holstead

Executive Director
