Help keep donnie’s legacy alive.

  • Pick up a piece of trash when you see it — Donnie loved the beach, let’s keep it clean.

  • Help an animal in need — because every creature deserves care.

  • Show up for someone struggling — a call, a meal, or just listening without judgment.

  • Volunteer at our Run for Recovery or help us spread hope in the community.

  • Donate to The Donnie Fund and help someone get the chance at rehab and recovery.

  • Choose compassion over judgment when you hear someone’s story.

  • Smile at a stranger — Donnie never met someone he couldn’t make laugh or feel welcome.

  • Sponsor a runner or start a team at our next event, in Donnie’s honor.

  • Organize your own fundraiser — a BBQ, a car wash, a game night — just like Donnie would have loved.

  • Learn about addiction and recovery — end the stigma with knowledge and empathy.

  • Offer encouragement to someone in recovery — your words can keep them going.

  • Join our family — sign up for emails and find out how to stay connected with the cause.
