Last week, members of our awesome staff from Horizon House Delaware came together and formed a team for the annual Hoops for Help tournament at Chase Fieldhouse, home of the Delaware Blue Coats, the G-League affiliate of the Philadelphia 76ers. The event brought people and organizations across Delaware together for a fun day of basketball, all in the name of supporting recovery culture throughout the state. Thank you to everyone who came out during the day, played in the tournament and supported the cause!

UPenn’s Women’s Athletic Association
It was a pleasure to join our friends from University of Pennsylvania‘s Women’s Athletic Association this past weekend to collect donations for our participants at the UPenn-Harvard women’s lacrosse game at Penn Park. Thank you to all who came by to drop off donations while enjoying seeing the home team win on a beautiful afternoon. We look forward to coming back again soon!
Recovery Cafe in West Philly
We had the privilege to attend the very first Recovery Café facilitated through the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services in West Philly. Local behavioral and mental health agencies from around the area gathered at Lucien E. Blackwell Library to share information on resources available to those seeking help. We were happy to hear stories of recovery and to share with the community what Horizon House is all about. There were also refreshments such as Wawa coffee, drinks, and snacks provided to give the gathering more of a “café” feel! Thanks to the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services for this wonderful event!
Partnering with St. Joseph’s and Penn Medicine
It was a pleasure to join our partners from Saint Joseph’s University and Penn Medicine Cancer for a mobile health clinic this past weekend at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in South Philly. Local residents received essential health services, including mental health screenings provided by our Horizon House professionals. This event was part of a new Horizon House partnership that we are extremely excited about. In the coming months, we’ll be joining St. Joe’s and Penn Medicine Cancer for similar events across Philadelphia. Stay tuned for more info on when and where you can find us next!
