2010 Capital Campaign
Investing in the Community
Addiction touches all of us . . .
Every time I step through Renz Center’s doors I am touched by the fact that, as a board member, I am part of an agency that helps individuals and families rebuild their lives. Everyone knows someone that has been touched by an alcohol, drug or gambling addiction. Whether it is a co-worker, friend, or family member, the effects of addiction can be devastating and far reaching.
I am honored to serve as Campaign Chairman for Renz Center’s “Investing in the Future” Campaign. A valuable community resource, Renz Center provides addiction prevention and treatment for individuals and families, while working to keep communities healthier and safer for everyone.
Substance abuse is a serious social and economic issue that affects us all. Untreated addiction costs Americans $400 billion every year. News of teenage drinking tragedies, DUIs, and drug related criminal activities are an everyday occurrence. No one can deny the important need for a community treatment center. Delivering those services, however, is becoming more of a challenge as the number of clients increase.
With Kane County’s population growth more than double the national average of 13%, treatment requests are rising and will continue to push the limits of the current facility. I invite you to join me in supporting Renz Center as we strive to meet the community’s demand for prevention, early intervention and treatment services for all ages.
Warm Regards,
Board President & Capital Campaign Chair |
