Critics’ Choice Award winner received $1,000. The Crossroads Club is not a sober home or treatment
center. Rather, Crossroads is a nonprofit 12-Step based
meeting center that supports an average of 700 people per day
who are pursuing recovery from various forms of addiction.
Since 1982, Crossroads has been an essential element in the
recovery of countless individual residents, snowbirds, and
other visitors from around the world. By providing the space
for the recovery meetings to take place, Crossroads has helped
empower these individuals to reemerge as positive contributors
to the community and would greatly benefit from your support.
Crossroads’ mission is simply to provide a wonderful safe
