The event is supported by Team MANA, a cycling team of nurse anesthetists in Michigan who fundraise though biking. In addition to a fun event that the entire family can enjoy, the Ride for Recovery provides an opportunity to support a critical community service.

Dawn Farm’s continuum of services includes residential treatment, detoxification services, outpatient treatment, transitional housing, and community outreach programs that meet people with addictions where they are, whether in the mainstream of society, on the streets or in jail.
