2023 Sober Tailgate Party
St. Paul, MN
Celebrating International Recovery Day and the first-ever 'Day of Service'
To celebrate National Recovery Month, we’re hosting a sure-to-be-rockin’ Sober Tailgate Party that doubles as an opportunity to make a lifechanging impact.
Friends from the Twin Cities and beyond will come together on September 30 to celebrate recovery and support an important cause—veteran and active military families.
Joining us will be special guests from the Minnesota Vikings, Wild, Lynx and Timberwolves as well as, our friends and collaborators from Semper Fi Flo, Moblize Recovery, Bold North Recovery and CVS Health.
We'll kick-off the festivities cheering on the University of Minnesota Gophers’ as they host the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns for their homecoming football game starting at 11 a.m. You can look forward to lively music, great food and refreshments, fun games and activities, community resource tables and, most importantly, connecting with friends old and new.
In addition, you'll have the opportunity to stop by our Day of Service booths and do something special for military families.
Saturday, September 30, 2023 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Hazelden Betty Ford 680 Stewart Ave. St. Paul, MN 55102 REGISTER TODAY FOR THIS FREE EVENT |

- Donate lightly used sports equipment to help ensure children in military families can participate in sports. Bring anything you have from home and toss into donation bins from our friends at the United Heroes League.
- Write supportive letters and messages to active-duty service members, veterans and their families. Spend a few minutes at the letter-writing booth, and our friends at Semper Fi Flo will send on your behalf. We're told service members especially love pictures and messages from kids!
- Assemble and send care packages. CVS Health has graciously donated items, and Semper Fi Flo will send as many as we can collectively assemble at the tailgate. Stop by the care package assembly line to take a quick shift.
This event brought to you by the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation and planning partners, Bold North Recovery and Mobilize Recovery. Additional collaborators and supporters include the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Wild, the Minnesota Lynx, the Minnesota Timberwolves, Semper Fi Flo, United Heroes League, and CVS Health.
