Since 1976, Stepping Stone of San Diego has been the region's premier LGBTQ+ recovery organization, providing comprehensive substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and safe housing where individuals can heal authentically and build lasting recovery.
LGBTQ+ individuals face substance use disorders at rates 2-4 times higher than the general population, yet too often encounter discrimination, lack of cultural competency, and programs that ignore the intersection of identity and addiction. The result? Many avoid seeking help or leave treatment early. San Diego's LGBTQ+ community deserves better.
For nearly five decades, Stepping Stone has been a lifeline for thousands of LGBTQ+ individuals, creating a space where recovery and identity affirmation go hand in hand. We don't just treat addiction—we build the foundation for people to thrive.
As one of San Diego's longest-serving LGBTQ+ nonprofits, we rely on community support to continue providing the specialized, culturally competent care our community deserves. Your sponsorship directly supports recovery services, safe housing, and the compassionate staff who make transformation possible every day.
Join us in celebrating 50 years of transforming lives in San Diego's LGBTQ+ community. Your sponsorship of The Pink Gala directly supports life-saving recovery services, safe housing, and the compassionate care that makes lasting change possible. Together, we'll honor five decades of impact while building the foundation for the next 50 years.
