Our First Fundraiser!

The Inaugural Event for The Van Nort Recovery Project was held at Nichols College on November 19, 2023. This awareness event was Entitled Strides for Neuro Recovery. The event was operated with the aid of the Nichols Event Planning class. After meeting with the class one time, they were able to collaborate and use their combined inspiration to find the perfect idea of how to introduce The Van Nort Recovery Project to the world. With their motivation, the students were proactively spearheading the event. Their active word of mouth and campaigning across campus as well as neighboring towns brought light to the cause and shed light on the situation most take for granted.

The professionalism and responsibility of the students wereexemplified through their early arrival and preparation for the event. Even over the course of the day, these eager young leaders of the future were actively inviting others to join the cause and spend their free time to support in any way they could. The walk was held within the Athletic Building as a way of the community coming together to spread the awareness of all those who are struggling with their TBIs in their every day lives. We can’t thank the Nichols College Event Planning class enough for their generosity for helping host such a great event. We hope to have many more amazing experiences as remarkable as this in the future.

Over the course of the event, we as a group accumulated just under a distance of a full marathon within the window of operation. As the initial attempt of coming together as a community, this level of effort and attendance gives all of us at The Van Nort Recovery Project a positive outlook on the impact we can generate on the near future. With the aid of any willing people, organizations, or institutions of all kinds we can make great things happen.
