Heroes for Hope Luncheon Recap:
Celebrating 40 Years of Hope and Healing
We are thrilled to share the success of this year’s Heroes for Hope Luncheon, which took place during Recovery Month and marked a special celebration of The Morton Center’s 40 years of service to the community.
With 200 guests in attendance, including over 30 alumni, it was a heartfelt and inspiring event for all who joined us.
We were honored to have John Y. Brown III as our keynote speaker. His powerful and personal stories of recovery moved the audience, providing hope and a reminder of the impact that compassion and support can have in someone’s life. If you missed the event, we encourage you to watch his inspiring speech, which can be viewed at this link.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we raised $100,000 at this year’s luncheon, all of which will directly support our scholarship fund.
However, The Morton Center faces a yearly gap of $250,000 to provide critical substance use and mental health services to 2,000 individuals in our community. It is only through the continued support of donors like you that we can close this gap and continue our life-changing work.
