About the Awards
Recognition That Echoes.
The MAA Awards are an annual recognition initiative created to shine a light on the extraordinary people and organizations doing the hard, compassionate work of supporting families affected by addiction.
From frontline healthcare providers to grieving mothers who have turned pain into purpose, these awards celebrate every form of courage and commitment.
Recipients are selected through a community nomination process. A modest nomination fee helps sustain MAA's programs, while sponsorship opportunities allow aligned partners to invest in our mission.
The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety — it's connection.
