Have you ever met someone whose personality was so infectious it lingered long after they left a room? That was John. His compassion oozed from within. Making others feel heard and valued is a character trait that cannot be taught but was synonymous with John. To know him was to love him, and to love him, you were guaranteed a lifelong friend. John’s Echo was created in his legacy to provide support to those with substance use disorders.

A non-profit arm of outpatient, drug, and alcohol treatment center, JADE Wellness Center, John’s Echo’s mission is to raise money to support the unmet needs of those within our community suffering from substance abuse. Whether it be transportation, housing, treatment services, prevention, or education, John’s Echo is situated to supplement the treatment and non-treatment needs of those early in recovery.

Working on the front lines of this industry for over a decade, you quickly come to realize there is only so much formal treatment services can provide. The unfulfilled needs of those in both recovery and active addiction are vast. Through fundraising and donations, John’s Echo gives all proceeds back to the treatment community in some way, shape, or form that directly impacts individuals in recovery or still suffering.
