email : Webview : Introducing a New Donation Program with Dave Downes

Treatment is only the beginning of Recovery – it’s the story that comes after that really counts. Many of our alumni continue to keep their Caron experience alive in their hearts by volunteering, donating, or furthering Caron’s mission of Recovery for Life in their communities and neighborhoods. One of those individuals is Dave Downes; this is a part of his story:

"I came to what was then Chit Chat Farms over 40 years ago. I was in an extremely low place. I had lost my job. I was about to lose my family. Caron saved my life. I owe a lot to Caron, and have made supporting their mission a part of my goals in my personal and professional life."

- Dave Downes

From his new beginnings at Caron, Dave rebuilt his relationships and his career, going on to serve in several executive positions. We’ve been inspired by his personal journey, and thankful for the support he’s shown Caron in both tangible and intangible ways:

Concerned about our current patients’ ability to access support and build relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dave recently donated new iPads for all of our Pennsylvania patients to use. Because of COVID-19 restrictions on group sizes and Caron’s safety protocols prohibiting visitors, the iPads allow Caron alumni to support newcomers via virtual lectures and meetings. In addition, they give patients access to tools and resources that they use throughout their treatment.

Dave is now launching a new initiative for the friends of Caron called the Affinity Group @RE/MAX Direct. In his post-retirement career, Dave became a realtor and has joined Daniel Robins, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Direct Realty. To support those who need help accessing quality treatment, Dave and Dan have committed to donate a portion of their revenue directly to Caron’s Scholarship Fund as well as providing financial incentives to the buyers and sellers who participate in it.

The Affinity Group will only initiate a donation when alumni, families, staff, volunteers, and friends of Caron opt to use RE/MAX Direct for their real estate services – so if you or a loved one are planning to buy or sell a home, We encourage you to
