The Launch Pad, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping women recover from substance abuse, recently hosted The Teal, its annual charity auction and music event. Under the glow of The Emerson’s crystal chandeliers, attendees shared fine cuisine and lively entertainment while fundraising for a 12-step sober-living program, which includes affordable housing, therapy and education. Their support helps women in need build a brighter, addiction-free future.
