2025 Chairperson's Dinner

Dear Friends, Thank you for being here and for standing with Bridgeway. This event reflects the power of community coming together to uplift one another. Laughter has a place in healing; it reminds us that recovery is real and within reach, and we hope for smiles and laughter that last well beyond tonight. Bridgeway has served New Jersey communities for decades, building personcentered, community-based care that meets people where they are. I have been honored to devote my career to this mission, and I am inspired every day by the courage of the people we serve and the commitment of those who stand with them. We are proud to celebrate the partners and people who make our mission possible. They are the stars of the evening. We are grateful for our honorees and for our partners and sponsors in the room, including: Woods System of Care, Rapps Pharmacy, RWJBarnabas Health, Homestead, Johnson Kendall Johnson, Data Story Telling, Withum, ConnectOne Bank, CliftonLarsonAllen, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, Citizens Bank, and Conner Strong & Buckelew, as well as everyone who placed ads in the journal. My thanks to our fantastic staff who planned this event and who help the people we serve every day, to our Board for their leadership, and to all our volunteers for their dedication. Your support makes timely, respectful, person-centered care possible for thousands of New Jerseyans. Please enjoy this Night of Color and Comedy. With gratitude, Cory Storch President & CEO Bridgeway Behavioral Health Services Dear Supporters, Tonight we celebrate a community that turns compassion into action. I support Bridgeway Behavioral Health Services because the impact is real. Bridgeway makes an immediate difference, providing swift, critical support to people and families across our community. Together we can create a place that offers hope and healing, not someday but now. Funds raised from and during this event will benefit the expansion of Bridgeway’s outpatient behavioral health services. I am thrilled to share a big announcement about the future of these programs, and I will formally announce it tonight. And here it is in writing: Please join me in driving the next phase of our Capital Campaign, A Legacy of Impact - A Future of Recovery. We are renovating the New Center for Integrated Outpatient Services at 567 Morris Avenue, Elizabeth, NJ. This Center will be a vibrant front door to care, with coordinated mental health and substance use treatment, same-day access when possible, and a clear path to ongoing support. It is how we turn urgency into help and hope into recovery. Help push us toward the second $1 million for renovations and program enhancements.
