From the Desk of

We love you Keith McGilvery!


Every so often, someone comes along who inspires compassion, embodies commitment, personifies persistence and impacts the vision of organizations who are making a difference locally and globally. Keith McGilvery is a one in a million. He has positively affected TriCircle's ability to provide resources, educate and inform, reduce barriers, and engage communities. He has helped by increasing our visibility, expanding our reach and helping to change the public's perception of the disease of addiction and the stigma associated with substance use disorders.


To express our appreciation and grasp the full scope of Keith's extensive accomplishments over the years would be a large undertaking and nearly impossible. His story is absolutely amazing.

Keith has once again committed to being our emcee at TriCircle's 7th Annual Gala Brunch at The Farms Country Club on Sunday, November 2, 2025. We will miss you on Fox61, Keith, but we are sure we will not lose touch. Your love and support has meant the world to us and we look forward to finding out where your next adventure will take you!


Together WE are Stronger!
