Kids Escaping Drugs

Kids Escaping Drugs raises funds to support the Renaissance Campus, Western New York's only long-term residential facility that treats adolescent chemical dependency.

Description:
The Renaissance Campus is a 62-bed residential facility for kids ages 12 to 21 who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. Clients receive educational and vocational training, volunteer within the community, and participate in individual, group, and family counseling during their stay, which can range from six months to two years on the Campus.

Kids Escaping Drugs also provides community outreach programs to area youth. The Peer Awareness Panels bring Renaissance Campus clients in touch with area middle and high school classes to engage in frank discussions about drugs and alcohol use.

Kids Escaping Drugs depends largely on corporate support and engages primarily in event-driven fundraising activities.

History:
Kids Escaping Drugs began in 1987, and has expanded the Campus from one 30-bed building to five buildings housing 62 young men and women, complete with classroom facilities, gymnasium and workout room, library, campaign offices, counseling offices, and public-use meeting facilities.
