The Clifton Morris & Jim Bradshaw Memorial Stars in Recovery Luncheon has welcomed renowned celebrities and respected public figures who courageously share their journeys of overcoming alcohol and substance use and mental health challenges. This year, Mayor Mattie Parker will be the honorary chair and Susan Ford Bales as will be the keynote speaker.

A distinguished author, photojournalist, and former Chairman of the Board of the Betty Ford Center (now the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation), Bales will share her personal experience with familial addiction. She'll also highlight her groundbreaking work with her mother to advocate for public awareness and effective treatment of substance use disorders.
