Attendees can anticipate an engaging program featuring Mayor Whitmire’s keynote address, personal testimonies, success stories, and insights into the foundation’s impactful work.

“We are honored to have Mayor Whitmire join us as the keynote speaker for this important event,” said Bill Bailey, President and CEO at Cenikor Foundation. “His ongoing dedication to serving the people of Houston resonates deeply with our mission of empowering individuals on their journey to recovery. I am grateful to Mayor Whitmire and our corporate sponsors. Without them, this important work would not be possible.”

For 57 years, Cenikor has been at the forefront of behavioral health. The nonprofit believes everyone deserves a chance at recovery, and healthcare should be affordable. Cenikor serves all individuals, regardless of the ability to pay. Through evidence-based programs and integrated levels of care, Cenikor is able to help over 13,000 people—75% considered indigent—a year.
