Saturday, August 29th
Mark your calendars—Galveston County is the place to be for the Big Texas Recovery Rally on Saturday, August 29th, 2026, with an exciting kickoff on Friday, August 28!
This powerful two-day event is a celebration of community, connection, and the many pathways to recovery. Enjoy children’s entertainment, an inspiring surprise keynote speaker, voices from multiple recovery journeys, and a wide range of resources and vendors. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this rally is for everyone who believes in healing, hope, and the strength of unity.
As part of this year’s celebration, we are once again honoring eight outstanding organizations with awards in each of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness as defined by SAMHSA:
- Emotional
- Environmental
- Financial
- Intellectual
- Occupational
- Physical
- Social
- Spiritual
These awards highlight the essential, holistic nature of recovery and recognize the vital contributions of organizations that help individuals thrive in all areas of life.
We invite organizations and sponsors to participate in this powerful weekend by supporting the event and engaging with the community. If your organization promotes wellness in any of these eight dimensions, this is an opportunity to be recognized as a SAMHSA 8 organization and celebrated for the work you do to strengthen lives and communities. Sponsorship not only supports recovery but also places your organization at the heart of a growing movement of change, compassion, and resilience.
This event would not be possible without the generous support of our local partners, including prevention specialists, faith communities, healthcare providers, treatment centers, sober living organizations, and committed community stakeholders.
Volunteers are also essential! If you’d like to serve, please sign up through pre-registration. Volunteers are expected to attend scheduled meetings and remain accountable for their roles. Your time and effort make a lasting impact—thank you for taking the initiative.
T-shirt reminder: The first 150 people on Saturday (Main Event) who pre-register and arrive will receive a free T-shirt—one per person, per order. Please ensure that each person in your group registers individually so we can plan properly for food, shirts, and vendor needs.
Join us for this inspiring weekend of recovery, recognition, and unity. Come rally with us—and let’s celebrate the strength of every step forward!
