POWER

05/29/2026

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, this year’s Purple Party welcomed over 300 attendees and raised more than $120,000 to support POWER’s mission. Because of this support, more people will be able to find recovery and healing—just like the individuals featured in our “This Is What Recovery Looks Like – 2026” video.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, and volunteered to make the evening such a success. Your impact goes far beyond one night—it helps create real pathways to recovery, hope, and renewed lives for women in our community.

"Recovery isn’t easy, but POWER made sure I never have to do it alone." 💜

Recovery is a journey filled with challenges, victories, and moments that remind us why support matters. No one should have to walk that path alone. At POWER, we believe connection, community, and compassionate care can make all the difference.

Every story of recovery is a reminder that healing happens together. If you or someone you love needs support, help is here.

Maury and Peggy Heidish are a married couple volunteer team. Maury takes POWER House women to the library every week, and Peggy is one of our volunteer receptionists. We are grateful for both of them!

When we understand mental health challenges can be at the root of addiction, we start asking 'how can we help?’ with no judgement. That question alone can make a big difference.

Behind every number is a woman, a family, and a story of hope. 💜

In April, POWER received 193 referrals, completed 110 screenings, and supported 85 active mentoring clients as women continued taking steps toward recovery and healing. Year-to-date, POWER has received 1,707 referrals, demonstrating the ongoing need for compassionate care and support in our community.

Recovery happens every day, and we’re honored to walk alongside women on their journey.

Thank you for helping us create hope, healing, and possibilities.

We loved seeing Von representing POWER at the Allegheny County Coalition for Recovery’s Seeds of Wellness event! 💜

Von has worked alongside ACCR for many years, building meaningful relationships and supporting our shared mission of recovery, wellness, and community connection. Partnerships like these remind us how powerful collaboration can be in creating hope and opportunities for those we serve.

We’re also incredibly grateful to ACCR for supporting POWER as a Purple Party table sponsor this year. Thank you for your partnership and for continuing to invest in recovery and wellness throughout our community!

Together, we grow stronger.
