Campaign to Help Make Much Needed Upgrades

Hello my name is Nathan Hess and I am the Alano Club Operations Manager.  I am looking to raise $50,000 to make needed upgrades to the club. Now that our mortgage is paid off.

Undoubtedly you or someone you know, past or present, has had an issue with alcohol or drugs and can understand the need for a place as centrally located as the Alano Club to find sobriety. For over 62 years the Alano Club has served the Santa Barbara community as a hub for an average of 28 weekly twelve step meetings. That equals over two thousand opportunities a year for a member of our community to find recovery from alcohol and drugs.

It is our mission to save lives “One Day at a Time” by providing a safe and sober environment for recovering alcoholics, drug addicts and their families. In order to meet our mission and continue to provide a safe place for countless alcoholics and addicts in our community to recover, we are relying on the generosity of community-minded individuals like you.

As part of our strategic plan to ensure the vitality and longevity of the Alano Club we are seeking the assistance of our community to help make much needed upgrades to our facility.

In April 2018 David Brown gave $180,000.00, roughly half of the mortgage balance!  The Volentine Family Foundation has donated additional funds and committed to support our endeavor to raise the remaining balance by offering to match all donations and we were able to reach our ultimate goal. The club Mortgage is paid off! We are now in the process of raising money for much needed club repairs.

Your financial contribution will bring the club a step closer to making needed upgrades our building, allowing us to continue serving alcoholics, addicts and their families who wish to seek support in their recovery.

I am asking you to support us and our endeavor to help upgrade our facility.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Nathan Hess and The Alano Club Board of Directors
