September 29
Covid Statement: September 29th is our 25th annual Problem Gamblers Awareness Day. As with many things right now, we will have to change the way we honor Bobby this year. The safety of the people come first. Therefore, this year Problem Gamblers Awareness Day will not host a rally, day of action, or any other gatherings. Instead, this years Awareness day will be hosted online.
Please stay safe, and take care of yourself physically and your mental health.

Take a Break Campaign
We are asking that our TAKE A BREAK campaign be observed again, asking those who struggle with gambling addiction to take a step back, check in to make sure if they are gambling they are able to do it responsibly. If they are unable to stick to their money and time limits, that they seek help. If you know someone who struggles, this is the time to start a conversation. There is help, there is hope.
