The Ranch Recovery Centers will host its 21st Annual Luncheon on Monday, February 23, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Palm Desert Resorter Country Club (77-333 Country Club Drive, Palm Desert). Proceeds from the event will support the organization’s residential alcohol and drug treatment programs, helping ensure access to care for individuals regardless of their ability to pay.
This year’s luncheon features the signature “Runway to Recovery” Fashion Show, presented by Grayseful, showcasing exclusive designs by Maria Lopez. A traditional highlight of this long-running event is the opportunity drawing, featuring designer handbags and accessories, with all proceeds going to support programs at The Ranch. The afternoon combines style and purpose, highlighting the community’s role in expanding treatment access for men and women seeking recovery.
The Ranch Recovery Centers is sustained by committed, long-term donors whose consistent support makes this luncheon—and the organization’s recovery programs and capital improvements—possible year after year. The 2025 luncheon played a key role in funding The Ranch’s new Medical Services Building, and the 2026 event will recognize donors to that project, along with other sustaining supporters. Additional sponsorships are available and appreciated. Together, this philanthropy and charitable contributions from luncheon guests ensure access to treatment regardless of an individual’s ability to pay.
“Often, the people who need treatment the most are the ones who can afford it the least,” said Rick
Mesa, President and CEO of The Ranch. “Every sponsorship and registration directly supports people who are ready to reclaim their lives.”
Founded in 1972, The Ranch Recovery Centers is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that serves approximately 450–500 individuals each year, while also offering family services to 90–100 loved ones.
