About Phoenix House LA Rise Up & Run

This December, we are back, challenging LA to Rise Up & Run to help save lives with Phoenix House  with our annual 5k Event!

Sunday, December 8, 2019 in Griffith Park

ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL BENEFIT PHOENIX HOUSE CALIFORNIA

We will have a  pre-race warm-up & stretch, a live DJ, Phoenix House event gear, prizes, and just an amazing time with friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and other individuals who are committed to helping people live extraordinary lives in recovery.

We will also have prizes for top fundraisers and teams!

Please join us and help raise funds and awareness because addiction is not a moral failing but a chronic illness that must be treated with urgency and compassion.
