Join the Washington Recovery Alliance (WRA),
King County Recovery Coalition (KCRC), and
Seattle Mariners to #Root4Recovery at our fourth
annual Recovery Day at The Mariners to cel-
ebrate mental health and substance use recovery!
The event is centered at T-Mobile Park and will
be held on Sunday September 15, 2024 before
and during the Seattle Mariners baseball game.
We host this event each year to celebrate National
Recovery Month in September, and this year our
focus is Connection and Recovery. Two peers
from local recovery support services will throw
the rst pitch and will be immediately followed
by our Recovery VIdeo on the Jumbotron. WRA
is hosting a pre-game recovery rally at 10:30am
in Occidental Square followed by a lively march
to the game complete with recovery signs and
song. A pre-game recovery event will follow, with
food, community resources, and fun activities at
T-Mobile Park.
This year, we also made the decision to support
our local community and give back by hosting a Services Fair from 9am-3pm at Occidental Square,
free and open to the public. It will include pet services from Seattle Veterinary Outreach, along with
various services from MTI, Essentials First, MCRC, NW Barbers, We Care Daily Clinics, a com-
munity pop-up from Metro, and several behavioral health organizations
"At the Washington Recovery Alliance, we believe in the power of community and the importance
of standing together to support recovery eorts across our state. Recovery Day at the Mariners is
more than just a day at the ballpark; it's a vibrant celebration of resilience, unity, and the incredible
strength of individuals on their recovery journey. We are deeply grateful to the Mariners, our Title
Sponsor, King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division, and the dozens of other spon-
sors, volunteers, and sta who have come together to make this event possible. This day serves as
a powerful reminder that when we come together, we can break down the barriers of stigma and
create a supportive, understanding environment where recovery can thrive. Let's continue to cheer
on our community as we do for our favorite team—because recovery deserves a standing ovation!"
– Monika Whiteld, Executive Director, Washington Recovery Alliance.

First PItch Story:
Our First Pitch pair epitomize this year's theme, Connection and Recovery. Both are people in recovery, who
have gone from receiving support and services to now being leaders and peers, who walk shoulder to shoulder
with people on their journeys to and in recovery. and have inspired countless others to do the same. We are so
blessed by Cody B West and Mikel Kowalcyk, their incredible organizations and all who do this work. Cody
and Mikel also played for years on Clean and Sober softball teams and are still active softball players today.
