The Red Tulip Project held its 10th annual Road to Recovery fundraiser Sept. 19 at Schoolyard Studio in Burton, raising funds to support addiction awareness and the organization’s recovery home for women in Geauga County.
The event, held during National Recovery Month, included a dinner, a live auction and raffles.
“Through the assistance and support of their many sponsors, volunteers, donors and attendees, the evening of fine dining, fellowship, live auction and raffles was a success,” the organization said in a press release.
Attendees also had the opportunity to have their photos taken with a 1960 Chevy Corvette on loan from Michael Capozzio and state Route 6 signs provided by Gary Hunter of the Route 6 Tourist Association, according to the release.
During the event, the Red Tulip Project Board of Directors recognized Dianne Kellogg for her years of service as treasurer and welcomed Jerrod Ronyak as her replacement.
“Kellogg is confident Ronyak is the right person to step into that role on the board,” the organization said in the release.
The Red Tulip Project’s journey to create a recovery home for women in Geauga County began in 2012. Construction on Monarch Meadow House began in May 2018, and the recovery home opened in 2019. Residents receive assistance with transportation to counseling, training, employment and recovery meetings, according too the organization.
“In 2020, in addition to the recovery home, Red Tulip Beyond was formed to bring healing and hope to men and women in the community,” the press release said.
The Red Tulip Project accepts donations through the Cleveland Foundation. More information is available at redtulipproject.com.
