On May 24, 2014, John and Erica Garwood’s
24-year-old son Mark lost his five-year battle with
prescription drugs. In response to this unimaginable
tragedy, the Mark Garwood SHARE Foundation was
established to honor Mark’s life. Its primary mission
is to provide educational scholarships to local men and
women who are recovering from devastating effects
of substance use disorder and who wish to initiate or
resume their education.
Since 2015, the foundation has awarded more than
$250,000 in financial aid to 41 qualified individuals.
The nonprofit supports the Mark Garwood Phoenix
House, a women’s recovery residence; Bridge House,
a transitional facility providing bed and board for
men in recovery with no means of support and no
insurance; and Clean Start Backpacks, which contain
essential hygiene items distributed to individuals just
entering recovery.
