Who we are.
We are parents, grandparents, siblings and friends who care deeply about the mental and physical well-being of teens and young adults facing the frightening prospect of dependency, addiction and overdose. We believe no family should be forced to endure the anguish of irreversible consequences.
What we do.
Our imperative is to support those who help rebuild young lives disrupted by substance use disorder and addiction.
We raise funds to benefit proven Madison non-profits doing the critical, life-saving work of advancing awareness, fostering outreach, or delivering treatment services in our community.
Why it matters.
27% of young adults struggle with substance use disorder.
90% of people with substance use disorder do not seek treatment.
Accidental overdose is a leading cause of death in teens and young adults.
100% of people who suffer from substance use disorder deserve hope and help.
Hope in action.
ASIF fills the funding gap for five people in a Madison full-time recovery program serving those who lack private health insurance.
ASIF hosts its first, formal fundraiser, raising enough to cover room-and-board costs for one person in non-profit, residential treatment.
ASIF provides free transportation to young people in Madison needing rides to and from out-patient recovery clinics.
ASIF forms a board of advisors, crafts its mission, and registers as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
ASIF is founded and goodwill donations pour in from family and friends.
