No matter how often you pay attention to news headlines, you are probably aware of the addiction, mental illness, and homelessness issues that plague our nation. Thankfully, there are some incredible organizations that are dedicated to helping people get back on their feet, find stability, and provide resources and education. One such organization is the Gooden Center.

We Support The Gooden Center

The Gooden Center, founded in 1962, was established by five members of Alcoholics Anonymous and Bishop Robert Gooden. Their aim was and still is to provide a safe and confidential environment for businessmen to find their way out of the debilitating cycle of alcohol and drug dependency. With varying levels of care, clients can find the help they need and transition through the levels to put their lives back together. The center has served more than 8,700 men and their families in its home-like environment.

Ride 4 Recovery Event

Mason & Associates loves to support our community and give of our time and resources to support those in need. This year our very own Charles Mason participated in the Gooden Center’s annual Ride 4 Recovery event, cycling to garner funds and awareness for this organization.

We are proud to have been represented by our founder in this worthy cause and hope you will be inspired to check out the Gooden Center’s mission and give back this season as well. Thank you for your support of Mason & Associates and the organizations we care about.
