This year we are privileged to honor Councilman Ed Moore as Elected Official of the Year; The Rogers Foundation as Philanthropist of the Year; Barham Architects as Business Partner of the Year; and a posthumous award in Memory of Carl R. Johnson, Sr. as Community Leader of the Year.
September 2016 marked Cenikor’s one year anniversary in the Tyler community. “In our short time here in Tyler, we have been able to impact the lives of nearly 500 clients. With the support of the outstanding foundations, companies and leaders we are honoring this year, and the wonderful people of this great City, we help people in need find better health and better lives through recovery.” says Bill Bailey, Cenikor President and CEO.
In celebration of National Recovery Month, Cenikor hosts this annual luncheon to share insights on the path to recovery, celebrate the achievements of our clients’ success, while raising vital funds to help our clients become responsible citizens free of substance abuse.
