Freedom Award Success!
Our 15th Annual Freedom Award Luncheon was a great success! On September 18, 2014 we presented Bill Dickey with the Samuel C. Wheeler Freedom Award in front of a room of almost 500 people. Bill spoke of his starts into sobriety prior to his success over the last 19 years. Together we raised over $235,000 to fund the lifesaving work underway at De Paul's Youth & Family Center. Click here to read more about the Freedom Award and see photos from the event!
