3rd Annual Flash Tattoo Fundraiser

Join NorthBound for a Celebration of Recovery!
NorthBound & Co., the region’s peer-led Recovery Community Organization, is proud to announce the return of its 3rd Annual Flash Forward: From Ink to Impact Tattoo Fundraiser on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Pocono Municipal Building, Tannersville, PA.
This year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, with an expected crowd of 500+ community members coming together for a one-of-a-kind day blending art, music, food, and recovery support.
Highlights include:
- Live Tattoo Artists offering flash designs throughout the day
- Local Food Trucks & Mocktail Bar serving up eats and drinks
- Live Music Performances by regional favorites
- Community Resource Expo featuring nonprofits, businesses, and recovery services
- Speakers & Storytelling bringing voices of resilience and hope
Everything NorthBound offers the community is completely free of charge—from Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) and Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS) peer services, to support groups for those facing substance use and/or mental health challenges and their families, to community outreach and education.
Flash Forward is the event that makes all of this possible. Funds raised at this annual tattoo fundraiser directly fuel NorthBound’s mission to keep recovery support accessible to anyone who needs it, without cost or barrier.
As the DDAP Region 9 Recovery Hub, NorthBound is also charged with identifying gaps in recovery services across the region and creating innovative, community-driven solutions to close them. Flash Forward ensures this critical work continues.
