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.
Christian Slater rose to fame as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable young actors, starring in iconic films including Heathers, True Romance, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Pump Up the Volume, and Interview with the Vampire, before earning critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award for his role in Mr. Robot.
As his career flourished, he struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, challenges that ultimately threatened his life, his family, and his future. Now more than 20 years into recovery, Slater speaks candidly about his journey, sharing a powerful message of resilience, perseverance, and hope.
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.
