Meet Simon McFall, the newest member of the Cirque Lodge Foundation team! Simon recently joined us as Major Gifts Officer, bringing decades of experience and a deeply personal commitment to serving others.

What moved him to join this work? The people.

In Simon's words: “Every gift to the Foundation carries a message to someone struggling with addiction: Your life matters. You are worth fighting for. We are here with you.”

Simon has already begun connecting with our alumni and hearing the stories that make this work so meaningful.

We’re incredibly grateful to have him with us. A growing team. A deepening commitment! Welcome, Simon!

Today, every gift goes twice as far.

The Cirque Lodge Foundation’s Anniversary Match-Up is officially underway, and thanks to Erin Hearst’s generous $200,000 commitment, every donation made through September 15 will be matched dollar for dollar.

That means one gift can do twice the good — helping make exceptional addiction treatment possible for someone who otherwise may not be able to access it.

If we unlock the full match, together we can generate $400,000 for scholarship support.

This is what the match is really about: putting life-changing care within reach when it matters most.

One Tradition. Twice the Impact.

The Tradition Returns - One Tradition. Twice the Impact.

On August 19th—24 years after the Cirque Lodge Foundation first took root, one of our favorite traditions returns.

For a limited time, generosity will go twice as far — creating twice the opportunity for someone who needs exceptional addiction treatment but simply cannot afford it. Beginning tomorrow, every dollar given to the Cirque Lodge Foundation will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $200,000

That means together, we have the opportunity to turn $200,000 into $400,000 for scholarship funding — opening the door to world-class, comprehensive treatment for people who otherwise may never have that chance.

The countdown is on. Help change a life and spread the word!

This Valentine’s Day, love becomes more than a feeling. Put into action, it becomes the gift of recovery.

Every day, individuals and families reach out to Cirque Lodge seeking hope, healing, and a way forward. Yet for many, the cost of treatment stands in the way of the exceptional care they desperately need.

Through scholarship support, you help ensure that when the call for help comes, we can say yes.

Your generosity opens the door to life-saving treatment…
to restored families…
to futures once thought lost.
Will you make a Valentine’s gift today and help us say yes to the next call for help?

I wanted to take a moment to share what has been made possible through the Cirque Lodge Foundation this past year—and to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who believes in this work.
Because of a generous community of supporters, we were able to expand access to exceptional care, fund the time real recovery requires, and raise the standard for what treatment can look like when financial barriers are removed.
The impact you see here represents real people—men and women who were able to stay, heal, and fully engage in care because support was available when it mattered most.
As we look ahead to 2026, we are already preparing for what’s next—so that when the next call for help comes, we are ready to respond.
Whether you’ve walked alongside the Cirque Lodge Foundation before, are considering becoming more involved, or are simply taking time to learn about this work, please know how grateful we are for your presence and belief in what’s possible.

Dear Cirque Lodge Alumni and Family Members,

As I pause again this year, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Throughout Gary Fisher's time at Cirque, he shared his wisdom with countless people, and one of the most meaningful lessons he instilled in us was the mindset of “We get to.”

Throughout the year, I get to come to a place of work where I grow closer to my coworkers and witness their passion for helping others heal. I get to welcome alumni back home, hear your stories, see your growth, and feel the strength of this community that continues long after treatment ends.

Most of all, I’m grateful for the privilege of walking alongside you and your families—seeing your courage, your healing, and the hope that continues to unfold in your lives. It fills my heart beyond words.

And, as always, I’m grateful for the chance to gather with family and friends during this season of giving.

My Thanksgiving wish for you is that you are surrounded by love, friendship, family, and peace. May you also be fortunate enough to truly “Get To.”

With gratitude,

Keith Fierman
Director of Family Services
Cirque Lodge
