Several students enrolled in the Addictions Workforce Impact Project spent their Wednesday night volunteering at the 2026 POWER Purple Party.💜

The Purple Party is Pittsburgh’s joyful, sober celebration and POWER’s annual fundraising event supporting women in recovery. This vibrant, sold-out event brings hundreds of people together—dressed in purple—to celebrate life, healing, and hope.

Thank you to the students who volunteered, and thank you to POWER for a powerful celebration of recovery!
