Break the Cycle 2026

Event Information

Join us on September 10th, 2026, from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm at the Fairlawn DoubleTree Ballroom for the 2026 Break the Cycle Luncheon.

 

Each year, this celebration honors the recovery journey and the people who make it possible. We’ll hear from community leaders, recognize staff members whose dedication transforms lives, and listen to powerful stories of recovery shared by CHC patients.

This event is also an opportunity to deepen the impact we make in our community. Your contributions go directly toward strengthening programs, building new spaces for recovery, and serving more individuals and families across Akron, Summit County, and beyond. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to celebrating with you.
