Putnam County Recovery Coalition to host Family & Friends Challenge

Vaseline on your face, bean bag toss, tests of memory and teamwork between all ages at its best.

All will be on display when the Putnam County Recovery Coalition hosts the third-annual Family & Friends Challenge event in partnership with Family Support Services of West Central Indiana, on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 2 p.m.

The event will mix fun and games in a similar fashion to Minute to Win It-style games. Families and groups of friends are encouraged to form teams of four, with all ages welcome. Teams will complete games at stations and compete to get the best times and most points.

At the end of the evening, winning teams will be awarded prizes. Throughout the evening, there will be music entertainment, raffle prizes and more.

The event has been planned and organized by the Putnam County Recovery Coalition. The group is a grassroots advocacy coalition working to raise awareness about addition and recovery, provide education to those in need of support, while reducing the stigma of addiction in our community.

Proceeds from the event will be used to support the facilitation of programs, help connect individuals to recovery options and provide resources to fulfill the mission.

The event will be held at the Putnam County Fairgrounds Community Building from 2-5 p.m. Teams are made up of four people. It is free, however donations will be accepted the night of the event.

Team registration can be completed at http://weblink.donorperfect.com/pcrcfamilychallange or by visiting FSSWCI offices at 16 S. Jackson St., Greencastle.
