Keynote Speaker: Kyle Hein

kyle hein

Kyle is the President of Mi Heroes Haven, a nonprofit organization that provides support to veterans, first responders and survivors experiencing trauma or PTSD. He is also CEO of Fr33dom Solutions LLC, where he provides sustainable solutions for organizations, communities and teams to reach maximum mental and emotional performance.

More than 15 years ago, Kyle was diagnosed with PTSD and a traumatic brain injury sustained from his work as a former police officer. He spent years searching for answers and solutions to the symptoms he experienced as a result of his traumas and injury.

He journeyed through rehabilitation programs and medical interventions, yet still suffered from suicidal ideation and struggles with emotional regulation. During that time, he wasn't willing or able to see that bouts with binge drinking were the cause of his continuing problems. Through the 12-step program, Kyle found sobriety and the healing he was searching for.

Music Performed by the Joe LaJoye Quartet

Back again this year, the LaJoye Quartet performs tunes from the Great American Songbook in an easy listening format. Vocals and instrumentals showcase these great classic tunes in a jazz flavor.

Silent Auction

Guests are encouraged to participate in our silent auction! We will have many items to bid on, including restaurant gift cards, theater tickets, hotel stays, spa treatments and more.

The Power of Recovery

“The roads to recovery are many, and the resolution of alcoholism by any method should be a cause for celebration by AA members.” — Bill Wilson
