HANLEY LUNCHEON FEATURES
AFTERNOON FOR FAMILIES
(WELLINGTON, Fla.) – The Hanley
Center’s 17th Annual Family Luncheon
will take place on February 12,
marking the start of National
Children of Alcoholics Week. The
family-friendly event will begin at
noon at the Palm Beach International
Equestrian Center in Wellington. It
will feature Tara Conner, former
Miss USA 2006.Proceeds from the
Family Luncheon will support Hanley
Center’s Education and Prevention
Programs, offering training to
professionals worldwide on how to
identify and treat the chronic, yet
treatable disease of addiction.
“Hanley Center understands the
importance of prevention and through
our research based prevention
programs, we have helped many
children and adults have a better
understanding of the disease of
addiction,” said Dr. Rachel Docekal,
who leads Hanley Center Foundation.
“We are grateful for the support
from our chairs and sponsors to be
able to continue to provide programs
for parents, caregivers and older
adults as well as elementary,
middle, and high school students.”
Children and families can get an
up-close look at a world-class horse
jumping competition, Artisan Farm
Grand Prix, during the Family
Luncheon. The lovely afternoon will
also include lunch, animal
encounters, a magic show and a
silent auction.
The disease of addiction affects the
entire family and this event
celebrates hope through recovery and
will honor National Children of
Alcoholics Week.
“It’s so important to understand
that addiction is a family disease,”
said Conner. “I experienced this
firsthand within my own family. But
I’ve also learned that through
treatment and recovery you can break
the cycle.”
Conner was crowned Miss USA in 2006.
During December of that year, she
entered Caron and completed 30 days
of treatment for alcohol and drug
addiction. She recently celebrated
five years of sobriety and shares
her experience, strength and hope
with audiences throughout the United
States. Through her advocacy work,
she hopes to raise awareness that
addiction is a disease and that many
people go on to lead a healthy,
productive life in recovery. She
especially wants educators, families
and professionals to know that
sobriety at an early age is
achievable and that it greatly
enhances life’s possibilities.
