2nd Annual REAL LIFE Alumni Dinner

Posted: October 31, 2025 | Author: Real Life Staff

Earlier this week, the REAL LIFE family came together at Lakeside Park Club for our second annual Alumni Dinner, a night that truly captured the spirit of community. Graduates, new Alumni and their families, staff, and friends of REAL LIFE shared an evening filled with laughter, reflection, and connection as they celebrated growth, resilience, and the lasting bonds that make our community so strong.

The REAL LIFE Alumni Program was created to help Lifers stay connected and supported long after graduation. To earn Alumni status and the coveted jacket, graduates continue to complete requirements after graduation that includes meetings, classes, recovery work, and sponsor check-ins to strengthen their recovery foundation and sense of belonging. In addition, they must complete the second part of our curriculum that is designed for our graduates in particular.

This year, we proudly welcomed 12 new Alumni and celebrated those who maintained their status, receiving their 2025 jacket patches with pride and purpose.

Alumni Coordinator Jasmine shared, “It was such a joy to watch the graduates and Alumni laugh, eat, and fellowship together while being recognized for achieving another milestone. I’m already looking forward to our third annual Alumni Dinner and can’t wait to see how many more graduates achieve Alumni status.”

Congratulations to our Alumni!
