Key Note Speaker & Founder’s Award Honoree
Rain Pryor

Rain, Richard Pryor’s daughter, grew up in a chemically dependent and highly dysfunctional household, is in recovery herself, is a highly accomplished entertainer, and is now also a licensed drug and alcohol treatment counselor. She is a dynamic speaker, spokesperson, award-winning actress, singer, writer, comedian, and a producer. She is a woman who believes in constantly creating and inspiring others to do their best and wants people to know if you live simply, honor the truth, and follow your passion in life, dreams can come true.

Emcee

Beginning with the San Francisco Boy's Chorus at the age of 7, Noah has shared the stage with Paul Robeson, Leontyne Price, Nat Cole and Duke Ellington, performs regularly at Marin and San Francisco night clubs and has recently starred in A Tribute to Nat Cole.
