Since our inaugural Spring Luncheon in 1984, The Petersen Family Speaker Series has featured some of the most recognizable actors, authors, athletes, and entertainers in the country. The prominence and appeal of our luncheons help The Council to break the stigma of addiction and share our message of hope for recovery.
Carnie Wilson, daughter of legendary founding Beach Boy member Brian Wilson, has a multi-faceted career as a five-time Grammy-nominated singer (Wilson Phillips), songwriter, talk show host, actress, author, public speaker, and mother.
Carnie has been a public speaker and motivator for thousands of people, sharing her struggles with addiction, mental health, alcoholism, weight loss, postpartum depression, motherhood, and wellness. She has been in recovery for over 20 years.
As The Council on Recovery’s premier fundraising event, our Speaker Series has gained national recognition and is among the largest philanthropic gatherings in Houston every year. Join us in making a difference—reserve your table now and be part of this impactful event.
Through the generous support of our sponsors, The Council can keep our promise never to turn anyone away. In fact, two-thirds of all treatment services in any given year are offered at reduced or no cost to families who might otherwise go without the addiction treatment they need. Support the luncheon today to bring recovery to families in need.
