Our Founders
"We believe that together we can provide hope for those affected by addiction because there is a solution.
Together, we can break the stigma of addiction."
Gavin Crosisca
A well-known football player in the early stages of his career, Gavin knows the challenging journey of addiction. Set to become one of the next generation of coaches upon retirement, along with a beautiful wife and family it seemed like Gavin had it all. After 28 years of struggling in silence Gavin's life would finally change for the better when he entered treatment May 2011.
Now, as a mentor and speaker, Gavin is passionate about speaking out about addiction and the detrimental effects it can have on others. He educates the community by sharing his experience of being addicted to alcohol, drugs and gambling and the steps he’s taken to recovery.
