Cataldo Ambulance also gifted a generous cash donation, which helped make the night possible. The raffle basket donated by MOA Treasurer Domenic DiSario raised much money for the event. The space for this party was kindly donated by Club 24, who allowed MOA use of their entire building, free of charge; to be sure no one would be turned away. Parking for the event was provided by Saint Joseph’s Church. This night would also not have been possible without the many amazing volunteers who checked tickets, set up tables, decorated, served food and so much more. MOA established this event to support those in any stage of recovery on what can be a difficult night for folks. MOA hopes that this event helps to reduce stigma for those seeking a sober night of celebration and also provides a fun, safe and family-friendly night to remember. It is their hope that this and similar events can help those not only in recovery, but all people young and old see that there is always plenty of fun to be had when you Celebrate Sober. Julie, dancing the night away.
