Fighting Addiction is an educational fundraising event organized and presented by the Milestone House, with the mission to raise awareness of the addiction epidemic and to inform the public about prevention and treatment services. We hope to provide inspiration to individuals in recovery by inviting guest speaker UFC Fighter Court McGee to share his powerful story, along with words from other influential individuals from the greater community.
UFC Welterweight Fighter and The Ultimate Fighter 11 Champion Court McGee has been in recovery since 2006 and is the founder and director of the McGee Project, a non-profit dedicated to educating communities and supporting those struggling with addiction (www.mcgeeproject.org). He is also being filmed for the A&E Show Addiction Unplugged (www.addictionunplugged.com). Mr. McGee will share about his experience with an overdose in 2005, after which he was declared legally deceased, and how this has shaped his path in recovery and as an athlete.
Beginning at 5pm on Saturday, October 7th, sponsors will have tables in the lobby of the auditorium, where we anticipate 400 attendees to congregate prior to the start of Mr. McGee’s address. Introductions from prominent guest speakers will begin at 7pm, with time for photos and autographs at the end of the evening. Those wishing to sponsor the event may also choose to be featured on the step-and-repeat photo backdrop where guests can pose for pictures with Court McGee, as well as in the program and social media advertising.
