2025 Caron Florida Gala- A Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Caron’s Mission: Recovery for Life

Caron transforms lives impacted by addiction and substance use through proven, comprehensive, and personalized treatment. Caron believes that everyone deserves an opportunity to access our world class care. Last year, with the help of our generous donors, Caron provided 5.1 million dollars in financial assistance, benefiting nearly 600 individuals and their families. This upcoming gala will support access to treatment through our scholarship program as well as programmatic support to significantly increase recovery outcomes.

We hope you will join us for Caron Florida's Gala where we will celebrate recovery and family, provide hope and inspiration, and connect our Caron community. You’ll hear stories of strength and courage, and enjoy an evening of fellowship, dinner, entertainment, and an awards program to celebrate recovery for life.

Honoring Sharon Hanson and Family with the Richard J. Caron Award of Excellence.

The Hanson Family has stayed close to the Caron community in both New England and Florida. Sharon’s generous support as a Board of Trustee member, Regional Advisory Board member, and active volunteer for the Renaissance Family Program, demonstrates the same spirit of caring and compassion exhibited by our founders, Dick and Catherine Caron.
