The Fresh Start team had a great time spending part of the weekend at the Calgary Harley-Davidson Season Opener. With a strong turnout of riders, slow races, live entertainment, vendors, and even a motorcycle smash for charity, there was plenty happening throughout the day and it was great to connect with so many members of the riding community. We're grateful to Calgary Harley-Davidson, one of our Community Champions for the 2026 12 Stop Ride for Recovery, for their continued support of Fresh Start and recovery. Their team consistently finds ways to support the community both on and off the road. It was also great to spend time with our friends from Grover Law Firm, the Presenting Sponsor of this year's 12 Stop Ride for Recovery. We also had our raffle motorcycles on site, including the Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST and Yamaha R1M. Tickets are available now at freshstartraffle.com, and every ticket supports treatment, Recovery-Oriented Housing, outreach, alumni connection, and long-term recovery support. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, learn more about Fresh Start, and support recovery. We appreciate being part of such a strong motorcycle community. @Grover_Law_Firm #CalgaryHarleyDavidson #RideForRecovery #FreshStartRecovery #YYCMotorcycles #HarleyDavidson
