The Partnership at Drugfree.org
It is appropriate that my 50th blog post be a reprint of my company’s Thanksgiving wish. My six-year anniversary with The Partnership at Drugfree.org is less than a week away and my gratitude for the organization, professionally and personally, grows with each annual date. We–all of us, including the folks we serve–are dedicated to helping parents ensure that fewer families will struggle with addiction.
Please read on:
Hello,
We have much to be grateful for on Thanksgiving, but above all we want to thank you for helping make the important work of The Partnership at Drugfree.org possible.
Because of you, millions come to drugfree.org and benefit from the deep, credible and science-based resources for parents and families. Through the generosity of all our supporters we have accomplished so much. We have:
Unveiled Time To Get Help - a first-of-its kind, multi-faceted, online resource for parents and caregivers who are seeking a community of support and advice on treatment options for a child who has a problem with drugs or alcohol.
Motivated people just like you to “Give and Get Involved,” helping families and individuals who want to help others through grassroots fundraising activities.
Expanded PACT360, our community education programs – and coupled with a brand new website featuring more in-depth information – we’ve added a community blog, providing parents the opportunity to ask hard-hitting questions of law enforcement regarding substance abuse.
Collaborated with community organizations like the National Association of Hispanic Nurses and Wounded Warrior, in an effort to continue meeting the needs and concerns of families across the country.
Come closer to realizing the creation of the Parents Toll-Free Helpline for parents who need information or are coping with a child’s drug or alcohol addiction. Through a Challenge Grant we’ve just received, all donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000.
Re-launched drugfree.org as a user-friendly gateway to our programs and resources, focused on prevention, intervention, treatment, recovery and community education. The new site also features interactive tools, compelling videos, engaging blogs, comprehensive e-books and online communities.
We thank you for allowing us to partner with you in helping parents raise healthy children. We extend our sincerest gratitude and wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.
–Your Friends at The Partnership at Drugfree.org
P.S. Now through December 15th when you donate $25 or more you will automatically be entered to win a $100 shop Beehive.com gift certificate.




In July of 2009, I had an epiphany. For about a month prior, I was emotionally distraught, increasingly depressed and having serious thoughts of drinking again (after 18 years of sobriety).
I struggled to wrap my arms around what could possibly be wrong with me. I had all the trappings of a good life, one others would love to emulate--great job, dream house, traveling for a living, a life mate . . . the list goes on. 





It is good to be in the world doing good that makes the world a little better place. You and the Partnership do it everyday. Thank you … both.
