Louise Burruss

Through her work, Louise coordinates the Golf Outing and Annual Gala, events that provide critical funds for the organization to continue its mission-based work. As someone in recovery, Louise offers her experience and knowledge of addiction and recovery in speaking to alumni and families about Caron’s treatment, prevention, and recovery services. In Louise’s own words, “Recovery is the best thing I never wanted!”

She has a particular passion for fundraising because she is proud of the scholarships Caron offers so those in need of treatment have access to care.

Louise began working with Caron in 2019. Her previous experience includes several years in the wholesale apparel industry, where she honed her communications and customer service skills. More recently, she worked in fundraising and event management for a private school in Atlanta for two and a half years, and for several years in community outreach for a local bank. She also brings many years of volunteer experience to her current work, primarily with the schools her children attended.

Louise has a Bachelor of Science in human environmental science from the University of Alabama.

"Caron’s range of services extends beyond treatment. We work diligently to prevent substance abuse from occurring by providing services to schools and have an umbrella of services and supports for our alumni and others in recovery as well.”
