Adult and Teen Challenge(ATC)held its Sons and Daughters annual outreach banquet in support of their life-saving programs. The program, which has roots in southern Manitoba, offers community support groups, drug awareness teams, and yearlong residential recovery programs for both men and women, according to a statement provided by ATC Executive Assistant Michelle Friesen.

This year’s banquet was held at Whitetail Meadow on November 10 at 7:00 p.m. and featured a musical theatre dinner format, along with a few words from Provencher MP Ted Falk.

“It highlights the transformation that is possible for those with addictions,” Friesen says of the dinner theatre.“Dramaand music was performed by ATC students and graduates in between meal courses.”

The evening presented an opportunity for guests to support by donation, but it was also an opportunity for those needing help to hear firsthand accounts of the programs offered by ATC. The organization hosts a variety of programs that are both residential and non-residential, based on the need of the individual. Its residential programs offers support to those 18 and over for life-threatening addictions, while their non-residential programs offer a more support group style of counselling.
