Announcing Our CAI-MN 2014 Charitable Partner by
Our local Minnesota chapter’s charitable outreach committee has been hard at work interviewing potential charitable outreach partners for CAI-MN. Our mission was to find a state-wide partner where our CAI-MN Membership could make a huge difference! The merits of more than a dozen organizations were discussed and three were selected as finalists. In the end, the decision was unanimous. The charitable outreach committee is excited to announce Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge as CAI-MN’s first charitable partner! Although there are many reasons
we are eager to engage the CAI community in supporting Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge, one reason stood above the rest – addiction has touched or will touch everyone at some point in his or her life.
Did you know? Today, Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge serves close to 450 residents on nine campuses around the state. It is the most effective recovery program of its kind, offering both short-term and long-term options, with a success rate of 79% for individuals who complete the 13 month program. A tenth campus will be opening soon in Rochester, and Willmar has requested an eleventh campus in western Minnesota. In
