    An Evening of Hope & Recovery

    Our annual gala, an evening celebrating the people and the community behind recovery in New Jersey.

    The evening

    The evening begins at 6 pm with a light reception: an hour to reconnect with old friends, meet new supporters, and browse the online auction. Guests are then welcomed into the ballroom for a seated dinner with a tableside entrée selection.

    An evening of inspiration with Hank Azaria

    The heart of the evening is an intimate fireside conversation between Turning Point Board Member Martha Mistretta, who brings more than two decades of personal experience in recovery, Turning Point CEO Robert Parkinson, and six-time Emmy Award winner, Screen Actors Guild Award winner and Tony Award nominee Hank Azaria.

    Hank is best known as a principal voice actor on The Simpsons. Beyond his extraordinary professional success, his personal story is one of hope, perseverance and transformation, and he will share the experience, strength and hope gained through two decades of recovery. His message is a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible, but that it can lead to a life beyond what many ever imagined.

    The evening promises to be an honest, hopeful look at where recovery has been and where it's going, and a chance to see exactly what your support makes possible.
