Save the date: on Monday, November 9, 2026, Cure Addiction Now (CAN) will host its 3rd Annual Fundraising Evening at The Beverly Hills Hotel. It’s a night of music, community and hope, and every dollar raised goes toward finding better ways to treat addiction.

Addiction touches nearly every family in some way. Yet for a disease this common, we still have remarkably few tools to fight it. That’s exactly what this evening is about changing.

An unforgettable lineup: This year’s evening features live performances by three remarkable artists: Alec Benjamin, the contemporary pop singer-songwriter; Sam Nelson Harris, frontman of the alternative rock/pop band X Ambassadors; Siedah Garrett, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. It promises to be a memorable night, and one with a purpose.

Why this night matters: The evening brings together supporters, advocates and experts to raise critical funds for CAN’s research. For co-founder Nancy Davis, the reason is simple.

“Addiction impacts millions of individuals and families, yet there is still so much we have to learn about how to effectively treat and ultimately prevent this disease,” she says. “This evening is about bringing people together to support meaningful progress and fund innovative research that has the potential to transform lives and change the future of addiction treatment.”

Science-driven hope: Nancy Davis co-founded CAN with her late son, Jason Davis. Today the organization funds innovative research into substance use disorder, working with leading doctors from Mount Sinai, Harvard, Yale, UCLA, Scripps, the University of Washington, Columbia, the University of Kentucky, Johns Hopkins and the University of Texas Medical Branch.

So far, CAN has funded 23 groundbreaking studies. Their goals include: Developing therapies that stop the craving mechanism in the brain, Making detox easier and more affordable for people seeking sobriety and Advancing vaccine research

Ending the shame: At the heart of CAN’s mission is removing the shame and stigma around addiction, so no one feels judged for asking for help. CAN also recognizes that addiction is rarely just a physical dependency. It is often tied to anxiety, depression and trauma. That’s why CAN builds mental health into its research, taking a whole-person approach that addresses both the physical and psychological sides of recovery.

Be part of it: Whether you’ve lost someone to addiction, are in recovery yourself, or simply believe no family should face this disease without better options, we hope you’ll join us on November 9.
