The Spirit of Hope Gala is our annual signature event that recognizes individuals and groups who have demonstrated an extraordinary devotion to, and understanding of, substance use and mental health disorders and the possibility of recovery. The Gini and Lou Bantle Spirit of Hope Award honors those who followed in the footsteps of Gini and Lou. They were pioneers in raising awareness about the effects of substance uselong before the subject became commonplace in the news and in our homes.
