In the heart of Salina, Kansas, on February 24, 2024, CKF Addiction Treatment once again illuminated the night with our second UnMask the Stigma Masquerade Gala. This evening wasn’t just an event; it was a profound testament to the power of hope and recovery.
As the evening unfolded, attendees were moved by the courageous narratives shared, all centered around the theme of resilience. Susan Ford Bales, our esteemed keynote speaker, took center stage, fearlessly recounting her family’s journey through addiction and eventual recovery. Her poignant reflections on her mother, Betty Ford, resonated deeply with many, offering a raw and authentic glimpse into their shared struggles and triumphs.
But Susan’s story was just one experience shared throughout the night. The voices of individuals from our Bridgehouse Women’s Program echoed with tales of perseverance, shedding light on the sheer strength found in the face of adversity. Each story served as a beacon of hope, illustrating the transformative power of empathy and support.
To all who stood beside us, whether as partners, supporters, or guests, we extend our deepest gratitude. It is through your unwavering commitment that we continue to make strides in uplifting and empowering those impacted by addiction within our communities. Together, we are not only unmasking the stigma but also fostering a future filled with compassion and healing.
