Since inception in 2011, the mission of the Steve Rummler HOPE Network is to heighten awareness of the opioid crisis, address its impact on the physical and emotional burdens of addiction and chronic pain, and improve the associated care processes. Our Gala on October 14th 2022, at the Metropolitan in Golden Valley, MN, will support our activities in Education, Advocacy and Overdose Prevention, helping us to provide the opioid overdose antidote naloxone free to the public, and to spread awareness across the state of Minnesota. These resources are even more critical as opioid-involved overdoses reach historic highs; and the danger of fentanyl contamination threatens individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) and those at risk of developing one. We will acknowledge this donation through a silent or live auction. This year will be our 6th annual gala, a time for our constituents, staff, volunteers, and partners to come together in community to honor the strength of our partners, inspire connection in our communities, and restore hope for all. 

Our 2022 Gala Theme: Resilience. We look forward to coming together on Friday, October 14th in community to encourage and support. Funds raised will be used to continue our programs, expand our capacity, and continue saving lives.
