Rooted in Recovery,

Growing in Community

For 2026, our vision is even greater. We are expanding into a larger, community-wide event, reaching more people, increasing visibility, and deepening impact across all of WNC.

With live music, shared experiences, and broad engagement, this event reflects what we know to be true: we are surrounded by recovery.

Why It Matters

Your Support Strengthens Recovery Across WNC

Rally proceeds support WNCRCC's work to strengthen recovery ecosystems through collaboration, advocacy, education, and community engagement.

This Rally isn't just a celebration. It's an investment in stronger recovery ecosystems across Western North Carolina.

This rally brings our community together to break stigma, offer support, and share the many ways people find recovery. During National Recovery Month, we amplify powerful voices and connect individuals with local resources to embrace every journey toward healing.

We Thank our Gold Sponsors

  • “It was exciting and meaningful. In all my years out of recovery and in recovery, I feel it was the best thing that could ever happen to me. And I look forward to meeting other people in recovery, as well as seeing the people I met last year. It is really special.”

  • Hannah Clark, Program Director - Crossroads Treatment Centers 

    It was a true honor to attend the first annual WNC Recovery Rally. Being in a space filled with history, alongside our recovery partners and community members united by a shared mission, to bring awareness, hope, and strength to those still struggling, was both rejuvenating and deeply inspiring.

    I’m grateful to be part of such a passionate and purpose-driven community, and I look forward to watching this incredible rally grow year after year.”

  • Morgan McCants: NCPSS Pyramid RISE ACCT Team

    Last year, as I was beginning my career in the recovery field, I had the opportunity to spend the day representing our organization at a Recovery Rally. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on me. I had never witnessed so many individuals coming together to celebrate recovery, support one another, and share hope. The atmosphere was filled with encouragement, resilience, and gratitude. Seeing people from all walks of life united by their recovery journeys was both inspiring and uplifting. It was a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible, but something worth celebrating. That day strengthened my passion for serving others and reinforced my belief in the transformative power of recovery and community.
