Leadership Coachella Valley’s Class Of 2026 Fundraiser
I’ve spent the last month doing something completely new to me: fundraising! I didn’t expect that raising money for ABC Recovery Center’s Building Hope campaign to complete their new campus would turn out to be one of the most rewarding parts of my Leadership Coachella Valley experience—but here we are!
Now our LCV Class of 2026 signature fundraising event is right around the corner! (That’s us pictured above, captured via drone by my classmate and photographer extraordinaire David García-Tlahuel!) I would love to see some familiar faces there, but if you can’t make it, there are plenty of other opportunities to support the cause.
Read on for six ways you can help ABC Recovery Center make a difference

Honor A Loved One On Our Digital Tribute Wall

If you have a friend or loved one in recovery, what better way to honor them than with a name on the Leadership Coachella Valley Class of 2026 digital tribute wall? This inspiring recognition will be displayed in ABC’s new welcome center, where those beginning their recovery journey will first enter the campus. It serves as a poignant reminder that no one in recovery walks alone and that every journey is supported by those who came before. Scan the QR code or click here to purchase a name.
KARAOKE FOR A KAUSE

Sing your heart out every Tuesday night in April at Hunters Palm Springs with Karaoke for a Kause, a month-long campaign to raise $2,500 and sponsor a Named Recovery Bed in one of ABC Recovery Center’s new residential bedrooms. Hunters has already kicked things off with a $500 donation, and now it’s up to the community to help reach the rest of the goal. Come on out from 8 PM to midnight each Tuesday, sing your greatest hits, and enjoy a night with no cover – all for a great “kause!”
Dine out for a cause at The Local

Everybody’s gotta eat, right? So why not head to The Local on 50th in Indio on May 6 from 5 to 9 pm and dine out for a cause! That evening, a portion of all food and drink proceeds will benefit our fundraiser. Bonus: The Local serves the best chicken strips in the Valley (as I’ve mentioned several times in my newsletter!)—so May 6 is the perfect night to sample them while raising funds for ABC! Let’s eat, drink, and do some good!
