2 End The Stigma Sponsors Rams in Recovery – VCU’s 2025 Research to Recovery Conference

We were honored to serve as a proud sponsor of this year’s Rams in Recovery – VCU 2025 Research to Recovery Conference, an event that continues to grow in strength, spirit, and purpose. Under the incredible leadership of Thomas Bannard and his dedicated team, this gathering once again brought together advocates, clinicians, researchers, and individuals in recovery who are making a difference every single day.

The energy throughout the conference was electric — a true reflection of the powerful recovery community we’re proud to be part of. It was deeply inspiring to connect with so many new organizations doing impactful work across the region, and it felt like a warm reunion reconnecting with partners we’ve long supported.

What many may not know is that 2 End The Stigma is also a resource referral agency. We work closely with individuals and families to identify the best treatment options for those facing substance use disorder. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we focus on finding the right fit — the right facility, the right care, and the right environment to support lasting recovery.

The positive energy in the room reminded us that the work we do matters — and it's working. Every handshake, every shared story, and every new connection adds another layer to our mission. We are more certain than ever that our efforts are creating real, tangible change — and we’ll continue pushing forward in honor of Scott Zebrowski, whose spirit lives on in everything we do!
