“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” -Charles Darwin
Guided by the principle expressed in the quote above, Exponents continually evolves to meet both present realities and emerging challenges -from shifts in the overdose crisis and behavioral health workforce shortages to new barriers facing people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating growth, resilience, and transformation at Exponents’ Annual Benefit: Evolution. This year, our theme Evolution, honors the incredible journeys of those we serve and the collective progress we make in communities affected by addiction and HIV/AIDS and builds on our commitment to improving health and igniting hope. This annual benefit honors how far we’ve come and ensures we can continue to adapt in a rapidly changing public health landscape.
Revenue from the Annual Benefit provides flexible critical funding that allows Exponents to respond in real time, scale effective programs, and pilot innovative approaches as community needs change.
