Summer may be winding down, but we could not be more excited for our upcoming programs and events this fall! It's National Recovery Month, and the Tigger Stavola Foundation continues to be committed to fighting addiction, spreading awareness, and saving lives through prevention and education.
Last month, TSF reached new horizons, welcomed a new team member and continued to expand their programs. We hope you have time to grab your boots and lasso as we are in the saddle and ready to give you the experience of a lifetime at our annual Gala!
With all of this excitement, we also want to thank our team, students, sponsors, and community for your continued support of our mission. It's only through our combined efforts that we are able to come together to save lives.

TSF Student Alliance Program Update |
|
TSF Welcomes Cathy Soya to Team Tigger!
We would like to welcome Cathy Soya, TSF's Student Alliance Coordinator to our team! Cathy comes with over ten years experience of working in the public school system, and since joining our team just a few weeks ago, has made tremendous strides.
She's been connecting with high schools in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties as we have received overwhelming interest in our new program. Our goal is to create a customized program to meet the needs of each individual school.
These past few weeks we have established new connections with the following: Brick Memorial High School, Brick Township High School, collaborating with Red Bank Regional High School during their school year, and speaking with Long Branch High School. We are looking forward to continuing these conversations as our Student Alliance Program evolves.
