26 Power Forward Gala

Please join us at the annual Power Forward Gala scheduled for Thursday, September 24, 2026, which will be held at the Plaza Ballroom, Seaport Hotel Boston. It will be an important night as we gather to raise awareness and support for those suffering from the disease of substance use disorder in Greater Boston.

We are happy to announce this year's

Champion Honoree, Thomas S. Gunning

Executive Director of the Building Trades Employers Association (BTEA) Northeast.

Tom has been a powerful voice for individuals seeking recovery, drawing strength from his own journey.

With your support, Power Forward can continue to end the stigma of addiction and provide recovery resources to MA communities. Your participation will provide Power Forward Sobriety Scholarships, which will provide the initial cost of up to six weeks of housing in a rigorously vetted sober home. You will also support the DOER Program (Dog Ownership Enhancing Recovery), which is the first of its kind, integrating companion dogs into sober homes to provide unconditional love, purpose, and responsibility.

We look forward to welcoming you for a great night of friendship, support, and life-changing impact.
