Dilworth Luncheon
Annual Wallace Godfrey Courage to Change Award Luncheon


In 2010, as Dilworth Center marked 20 years of serving the Charlotte community, we introduced the Wallace Godfrey Courage to Change Award to recognize the kind of leadership that makes recovery possible.
This award is presented each year to a professional who has devoted their career to serving individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.
Wallace Godfrey
The Courage to Change Award was named in honor and recognition of long-time Dilworth Center employee, Wallace Godfrey. Wallace was the Director of Special Programs, and head of our adolescent treatment program. He was employed with Dilworth Center for over 13 years and worked in substance use disorder treatment for over 25 years. During the course of his career, Wallace helped countless alcoholics and addicts change their lives for the better. His unique style and talents came as a result of his extensive training and personal experience. Because he made a positive impact on so many lives, we proudly named our Courage to Change Award after Wallace.
