Carl and Joan Allison have pledged to give up to $100,000 in memory of their son, Dr. Jared Carl Allison, who was a Florida Recovery Center alumnus, but we need 40 donors to unlock it! Every 10 donors who make gifts to support FRC and addiction recovery unlocks a $25,000 donation from the Allison family until we reach the full $100,000.

We are so grateful for individuals like Burt who are joining others on Gator Giving Day. See why he chose to support FRC:

“I’m inspired to give because I know what it’s like to need help and not know where to turn. Recovery isn’t just about abstinence; it’s about rebuilding a life, and that takes support, structure, and access to quality treatment. The Florida Recovery Center provides that. I see the impact of addiction every day in my work, and I know that for many people, the only thing standing between them and healing is access to care.

Giving to this cause is about more than just money, it’s about investing in people who are trying to reclaim their lives. It’s about honoring the professionals who dedicate themselves to this work and making sure the next person who walks through those doors has a real shot at recovery. Addiction is a disease that thrives in isolation, but recovery happens in the community. If I can be part of building that community, even in a small way, then I want to do that.

There was a time when I needed help and people showed up for me. Now it’s my turn.”

Burton Burt LMHC, MCAP, Substance Abuse Therapist
