Kids Escaping Drugs - Rise for Recovery

The 5th Annual Rise for Recovery Walk — On September 12th, 2026 at Canalside, Buffalo, we’ll unite the community to honor lives lost to overdose, support those in recovery, and end the stigma around addiction.

This family-friendly event features a 1.8-mile walk, a heartfelt memorial ceremony, local resource vendors, lawn games, and a pay-what-you-wish lunch. Together, we can raise awareness, foster hope, and create a future free from the devastation of addiction. Proceeds go to Kids Escaping Drugs.

This event is sponsored by Wegmans.
