Over the years we have had a number of families, alumni, and other generous contributors give so that others may return to society happy, productive, and free. We are so very grateful for your support.
The Cirque Lodge Foundation was created to provide an opportunity for those of us who have the means to give back and help those suffering from the devastating malady of alcohol and drug addiction. This is a great way to pay it forward!
The Cirque Lodge Foundation’s mission is to remove financial barriers to recovery by providing scholarships for exceptional, life-saving addiction treatment, fostering healing, hope, and lasting sobriety.
The Cirque Lodge Foundation (CLF) was created over 20 years ago by the Losee family, the owners of Cirque Lodge. It was in response to a grateful alumni who having had a transformational experience in the facility wanted to afford others the opportunity to heal and recover in the beauty and serenity of the Wasatch Mountains. The intent was to help those suffering from alcohol or drug addiction, who while not destitute, wouldn’t be able to afford an experience of the highest quality care possible. Through scholarships supported by family, alumni, and the Losee family themselves, the CLF is dedicated to giving the gift of sobriety to those who might have been precluded from accessing such a preeminent experience.
As the daughter of someone who’s received the scholarship, I am incredibly, eternally grateful for the gift of having a sober dad for really the first time in my adult life. Seeing him with all four of our children (his grandchildren) is one of the most beautiful gifts all of us could have ever received.

My father helped pay for my first month of treatment, but I could never ask him to pay for anything more and he didn’t have it—I had stolen his life savings feeding my addiction. Then I learned about Cirque Lodge’s scholarship program, and because of your generosity, I was able to stay 90 days instead of 30. Today, I’m more than two years sober, deeply connected to my daughter and father, and proud to say I volunteer regularly in my community. Your donations didn’t just support my treatment; they gave me my life back. You truly are saving people’s lives by your generosity.

There are many gratifying stories about how Cirque Lodge Foundation has benefited many individuals over the years
One in particular is the story of a single mother who fell into the depths of drug and alcohol addiction. During this dark time her children were removed from her home and she lost all hope until she was introduced to the Lodge through a grateful alumni.
In addition to her contribution, monies provided by the Foundation and an equal grant from the Losee family she was able to receive the exceptional care of Cirque Lodge, where she learned the skills necessary to live a sober life and be the kind of parent, daughter, and sister that she desperately wanted to be. Today she is the head of her household, her children are thriving and she serves as a pillar of support for her friends, family and the community around her.
Your donations may give a mother or father the opportunity to return to their families and lead a happy, joyous and sober life. Or provide peace to a sister, brother, son, or daughter who have conquered their addiction and returned to society as a positive sober role model! We may never know the full impact a donation can make on the society we live in, but if we can help just one person live a sober life, we believe the world will be a kinder, more beautiful place.
