Sponsorship Opportunities
Your name behind every mile.
The Recovery Road walks 1,776 miles around Minnesota to make the youth mental health crisis impossible to ignore — walking to collect the data, raising money to fund the solutions.

Why this, why now
Minnesota's youth mental health crisis isn't coming. It's here.
1 in 3 young people with depression receives no treatment. In rural counties, the answer to "where do I get help?" is often simply: nowhere. The Recovery Road exists to change that — with a Living Map, a Statewide Gap Report delivered to legislators, a Policy Brief for St. Paul and DC, a documentary, and 4–6 Community Anchor Events across Minnesota.

Financial transparency
So where does the money go?
Proceeds go to the One Arrow Foundation, a 501(c)(3). They fund prevention, treatment, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and recovery support — particularly in high-need, under-resourced areas.
- Community grants ($2,500–$10,000) — fast, direct to organizations and navigators already filling gaps without resources.
- Program grants ($10,000–$50,000) — tied to gaps the map identifies. Every grant is traceable to a story.
- Systems change ($50,000+) — year two and beyond. Co-funded with state and federal dollars the policy work unlocks.
- The infrastructure that makes the data gathering possible.
- Logistics, safety, storytelling, and community engagement.
In-kind partnership
Gear, hydration, lodging, transportation, creative services, tech support.
Recognition scaled to contribution value.
We don't cross the finish line with a medal. We cross it with a case file — and your name in it.
