Above and Beyond Celebrates 10 Years of Redefining Recovery with Milestone Gala Event
CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center is celebrating a decade of revolutionary work in addiction treatment, holistic recovery, and community transformation. The 10-Year Anniversary Redefining Recovery Gala will take place this November, honoring a journey that began with a bold idea: that everyone deserves access to dignified, free, and effective treatment, regardless of their income, history, or circumstances.
A Mission Worth Investing In
Located on the West Side of Chicago, Above and Beyond is more than a treatment center. It is a free, walk-in, behavioral, outpatient sanctuary of second chances and a launchpad for new beginnings. Over the past ten years, the center has:
- Enrolled 10,000+ patients in free outpatient addiction treatment
- Helped 1,857+ individuals secure safe housing
- Supported 220+ clients in gaining employment
- Distributed 2.9+ million pounds of food through its community-run pantry
- Graduated thousands of participants from programs rooted in dignity, accountability, and evidence-based healing
As the need for compassionate, comprehensive care continues to rise, so does the opportunity to expand this model. That is where sponsors play a vital role.
A Night to Champion a Cause
The Redefining Recovery Gala brings together Chicago's changemakers, philanthropists, advocates, and partners for an unforgettable evening that celebrates transformation and sets the stage for the next decade of impact. The evening will include a keynote address by Jens Ludwig, Director of The University of Chicago Crime Lab, and special remarks by Rahm Emanuel, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan and former Mayor of Chicago. Guests will also hear stories from former clients who now serve as staff, demonstrating what is possible when care is rooted in community.
