The theme of this year's walk is 'Invest in recovery instead of paying the price of addiction,' and one of the major fundraising goals is to support the Raymond Lesniak ESH Recovery High School, the state's first public high school dedicated to providing support for students and families impacted by addiction.

The high school was opened largely through the efforts of Prevention Links, a private, nonprofit organization that offers communion prevention services, family wellness services, and academic and recovery support for people battling drug addiction and alcohol abuse.

"New Jersey is suffering through a horrible heroin crisis," stated Paul Lavella Jr. MA, LPC, LCADC, ACS Director of Alumni Services. "It's important that every one of us to do what we can to support programs that help addicts recover and regain control over their lives. Last year's walk showed the power of a group of people committed to the same goal, and as a major sponsor this year, we are hoping to exceed all our fundraising goals."

Prevention Links will also receive a portion of the donations for the Drug Prevention Walk, as the organization continues to provide educational resources that can help steer young people in the right direction and prevent the next generation from becoming addicts.
