Flash Forward: Ink to Impact

About the event

Flash Forward: Ink to Impact is NorthBound & Co.'s annual tattoo fundraiser bringing together recovery, community, and local partnership for a day centered on connection, celebration, and giving back.

Hosted in partnership with Pocono Mountain Harley-Davidson and Famous Tattoo Works, the event features a great line-up of events to take part in:

• Throttle Without the Bottle — our sober ride through the Poconos. Safety check-in will be at 8:45am and the ride takes off at 9am. Register here
• Tattoos will begin at 10am
• Grab the bull by the horns! Mechanical bull riding and tournament to take place from 12pm–4pm.

Most importantly this event is about bringing recovery to those who need it most, and Flash Forward helps keep NorthBound's mission moving forward. Funds raised through the event directly support the free programs and practical assistance we provide to individuals and families throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, including peer-based recovery support, Certified Recovery Specialist services, case management, workforce assistance, transportation support, community resource navigation, wellness programming, and outreach.

NorthBound does not charge clients for the support they receive. Events like Flash Forward help make that possible. Every tattoo, sponsorship, raffle ticket, donation, ride registration, and person who shows up contributes to keeping these resources accessible to people who may otherwise face barriers to getting the help they need.

Flash Forward is more than a fundraiser. It is a celebration of recovery, resilience, and the power of a community choosing to show up for one another.
