RISE Picnic For Recovery 2023 -Thank You!
The 2023 RISE Picnic For Recovery to benefit Santa Maria was once again hosted at The Parador and it was full of momentum for our mission to empower women and their families to lead healthy, successful, productive, and self-fulfilling lives. Many donors and volunteers made the event successful, including our special guest emcee, Jose Grinan from Fox 26.
We are grateful for everyone who sponsored, donated, attended and participated in any way to make our annual fundraiser a success. THANK YOU!
Special Tribute From Our Sponsors -Video that you don’t want to miss!
Without the generous support from our sponsors and donors, Santa Maria’s annual fundraising luncheon would never be successful. We are so thankful for our donors who have continued to support us even with the change in luncheon plans and the challenging economic environment. Every donation helps ensure we can continue to be there for women and families when they ask for help.
Many of our sponsors have given from their hearts for years and we are so grateful. We thought it was time you heard from some of them, so we have asked them to record inspirational messages from their homes.

Although we were not able to be together this year, this is how we are adapting to life under the stay at home challenges. We especially thank our board member, Keith Rudy, who produced this video using available software and a heart for service. Keith, we appreciate you and all that you do!

2019 RISE Luncheon will be held on April 30 -Become A Sponsor Today!
Please join us for our fourth annual RISE Luncheon benefiting Santa Maria, on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at River Oaks Country Club. We are honored to celebrate the many women and families whose lives have been transformed as a result of the recovery treatment and supportive services they receive through Santa Maria. Our hope is to have the room filled to capacity with the many generous people who support our mission and programs.
Since 1957 Santa Maria has served thousands of women in crisis and has continually responded to the emerging needs of the recovery community. Today, we continue to stand strong by our mission to empower women and their families to lead healthy, successful, productive and self-fulfilling lives—and our RISE Luncheon is instrumental in allowing us to continue achieving this mission.
We are proud to share that last year alone we served over 5,000 women,children and family members. However, there is still a great need and more work to be done.
With your support we can continue to change the lives of women who are living with addiction and provide them and their children with the care, support, stability and healing they need as part of a family in recovery. And with your support we can continue to expand our reach into the larger community, providing children and families the tools and support they need to overcome adversity and reach their full potential.

Houston Run for Recovery is back for its 9th year on December 2, 2018!
Join the Race, 5K (timed and un-timed) and Kids walk, to celebrate recovery. Click here to register.
“The Houston Run for Recovery highlights the fact that recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is achievable and celebrates the joy of living a full and healthy life free from substance use.” states Nadine Scamp, co-chair of the Houston Run for Recovery and CEO of Santa Maria Hostel.
Participants are not necessarily individuals who have experienced recovery personally. However, anyone who has seen the benefits of recovery in someone they know and love can understand and share the joy of celebrating it.
While the race celebrates recovery, its goal is to also embrace the entire running community.
The event will begin with a non-competitive 1K Kids Fun Run at 8:00am followed by a competitive and non-competitive 5K Run/Walk at 8:30am at Cleveland Park (200 Jackson Hill, Houston, 77007) in front of the The Council on Recovery. Post race festivities and activities for the children will be held at Cleveland Park, Downtown Houston. Registration is available online or on-site at 7:00am on the day of the event. Proceeds will go to recovery-based scholarships benefiting program participants at Santa Maria Hostel, STAR Drug Court and The Council on Recovery.

“Our goal is to reach out to the community and say that everyone knows someone who has been impacted by addiction. We want to change the place of darkness and shame that those impacted by substance use disorder so often experience to one of hope and healing in recovery. Recovery is a life-long process, and by running and walking together we show our support for all of our neighbors and loved ones who are making that daily effort to maintain long term recovery.” Nadine Scamp, CEO of Santa Maria Hostel.
