Davida Coady Walk for Recovery
Sun, September 16, 2018
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Veterans Memorial Building

This first annual Options Recovery Services National Recovery Month celebration of Dr. Davida Coady’s contributions will visit spots on a three-mile walk around Berkeley, highlighting the history that has served over 10,000 clients on their individual roads to recovery.

The Options family – board, staff, supporters, clients, and the many graduates over the past 21 years, from the streets of Berkeley and Oakland and across the state prison system – mourns the passing of our founder and guiding light, Dr. Davida Coady. We find comfort in the words of one graduate: “Dr. Coady never gave up on people, even after they gave up on themselves.” Our grief only spurs our resolve to continue Davida’s vision of reaching out to the poor and imprisoned in finding the path to life-affirming sobriety and service.

SIGN-IN & COFFEE: 9 AM
WALK BEGINS: 10 AM
BBQ: 12 PM

SUGGESTED DONATION: $21 – one dollar for each year of Davida’s leadership at Options. The donation covers Options water bottle, Recovery Month t-shirt, and barbeque.
