Our spotlight on Berkeley’s New Bridge Foundation is the seventh in a series highlighting our wide range of facility partners in honor of our 50th Anniversary.
With over 55 years of experience, New Bridge Foundation is considered one of the most prominent addiction treatment centers in Northern California. Since 2020, it has also ranked as one of America’s “Best Addiction Treatment Centers” (per a survey conducted by Statista in cooperation with Newsweek). Like Bread & Roses Presents, the New Bridge Foundation is a nonprofit organization, which means that 100% of their profits are put back into their facilities and the substance abuse treatment they offer.
Our partnership with New Bridge began in 1997. Over 27 years, we have produced 234 shows featuring such distinguished artists as Ron Artis II, La Pena Community Chorus, Los Mocosos, Hot Buttered Rum, Shana Morrison, Mark Hummel, Eric & Susie Thomson, Maurice Tani, Austin Willacy, Shelley Doty & Vicki Randle, and many, many more.
Some of the artists who have performed at New Bridge over the years have gone through their own addiction recovery journeys. At the rousing end of a recent performance, we watched the performer unveil his 30-year AA “chip.” This small act was met with a roar of support and approval from the crowd – it was an unspoken, yet deeply resonant way of saying “you too can do this.” This unique and mutually supportive bond between performer and audience could only be found at a Bread & Roses performance.
Bread & Roses deeply values our partnership with the New Bridge Foundation. We look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come and continuing to serve those whose recovery journeys are made a little easier through the gift of live music.

It’s inspiring to see organizations like New Bridge Foundation create supportive environments where people can find hope, healing, and a fresh start. Programs that focus on care and positive change show the impact of dedicated community efforts. Similarly, Book Publishing Services help share powerful experiences and stories that can connect with and inspire others.
Bringing live music to recovery facilities creates an incredible environment for emotional healing and hope. Helping individuals navigate the journey of addiction recovery is never a collection of Easy Games, but the therapeutic power of art makes a real difference. Kudos to Bread & Roses for uplifting spirits through these vital programs!
The quantity survey course outlines traditional cost measurement and valuation, yet the approach to incorporating contingency planning for unexpected site changes is subtle. Curiosity arises about how learners can bridge theoretical frameworks with dynamic project conditions. Some construction project management case studies hint at similar practical challenges.
I am truly moved by the miraculous connection between music and the recovery journey of these patients! Overcoming adversity to rebuild one's life requires perseverance, skill, and intense focus, just like trying to keep an egg from falling while driving the eggycar uphill. I hope this meaningful partnership will continue to spread even more positive energy!
What a great spotlight on New Bridge Foundation—love hearing how they support recovery in Northern California. It reminded me how useful a simple Free Analog Clock Online can be for timing mindfulness exercises or group activities in treatment settings. Thanks for sharing!
