Partner in Recovery: Mothers for Awareness and Prevention of Drug Abuse (MADPA)

We are proud to recognize MAPDA with our Partner in Recovery Award. Founded by mothers whose lives have been personally impacted by addiction, MAPDA has grown into a national leader in prevention, education, advocacy, and family support. Under the leadership of former Congresswoman Mary Bono, who serves as Chair and CEO, MAPDA educates youth, supports families navigating addiction, and advocates for meaningful solutions at every level. We are honored to celebrate the extraordinary work they continue to do on behalf of individuals, families, and communities across the country.
