More than 250 people attended Hanley Foundation’s 18th Annual Palm Beach Dinner on January 19th at the Sailfish Club in Palm Beach. The event raised more than $500,000 for the Foundation’s lifesaving programs, including the Lifesaver Scholarship Program, which provides treatment scholarships to people with Substance Use Disorders.

The highlight of the evening was Jon Bon Jovi surprising attendees by helping auction a case of Hampton Water, his signature wine; a signed guitar; and a photo op with the winner of the package, which raised $15,000.

“People from all walks of life suffer from substance use disorders,” said Jan Cairnes, CEO of Hanley Foundation. “Events like this are critical to help spread the message of hope and raise important funds that allow us to continue to expand our substance use prevention and recovery programs.”

Guests enjoyed a photo wall, welcome reception of passed hors d’oeuvres and mingled as they bid on one-of-a-kind silent auction items. The reception was followed by an elegant evening with an elaborate buffet, live entertainment, a silent auction and a call to the heart.

Substance Use Disorder survivor and Lifesaver Scholarship recipient Amy was featured in a video at the event in which she said, “Hanley is the whole reason I’m here. That scholarship literally did what it was called. It saved my life. Without that help, I would have continued drinking until I died.”
