The Walk is CWC’s biggest fundraiser of the year, accounting for more than 25% of our annual operating revenue. In 2023, with the support of more than 200 walkers and 20 corporate sponsors, we were able to raise more than $50,000 to support our vision that every child under five is able to thrive in a home free from parental substance misuse.All of CWC’s parent participants have experienced six or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction that significantly increase the risk of poor health and social outcomes in adulthood. To break that cycle of trauma, ChooseWell Communities parents learn strategies and participate in experiences that result in reunification with their children in safe, healthy, and drug-free homes and dramatically improve odds of long-term sobriety.
Unsurprisingly, research affirms that children living in safe, healthy, and socially connected home environments realize more favorable outcomes in physical and social/emotional health and learning readiness than their peers whose lives have been challenged by the early childhood adversity that accompanies a parent’s substance misuse. By keeping families together, CWC addresses a leading cause of ACEs with an effective, upstream response to the growing number of Kentucky children whose lives are altered by a parent’s addiction.
The Walk Through the Wild provides a safe, inspirational environment for all ages and “walks” of life! Please join the growing number of organizations, friends and loved ones
committed to realizing the vision of a truly Compassionate City.
ChooseWell Communities’ “Walk Through the Wild” at the Louisville Nature Center on Saturday, October 26, 2024!
