We’re going to tear him down a little, roast the heck out of him, and then build him right back up! 😂🔥

Join us Tuesday, October 27, for the Urban Dreams 11th Annual Roast & Toast honoring Dr. Adreain Henry.

Dr. Henry has made an incredible impact on our community through his leadership, service, and commitment to developing the next generation of healthcare professionals. We’re going to have some fun at his expense, but more importantly, we’re going to celebrate everything he has accomplished.

And this year’s Roast & Toast is about more than laughs.

Proceeds support Urban Dreams’ Workforce Housing Initiative, helping us create quality, affordable housing for working families in our community.

🎟️ Tickets, tables, and sponsorship opportunities are available.

Watch the video, then get registered and come roast, toast, and celebrate with us!

🔥 Tickets, tables, and sponsorships are officially open for the 2026 Urban Dreams Annual Roast & Toast!

This year, we’ll be roasting and celebrating Dr. Adreain Henry.

If you’ve been to a Roast & Toast before, you already know what’s coming: great stories, plenty of laughs, and maybe a few things Dr. Henry wishes we had forgotten. 😂

After we tear him down a little, we’ll build him right back up and recognize the incredible leadership and service he has provided to our community.

This year’s event will support Urban Dreams’ workforce housing initiative, helping us continue creating opportunities for safe, stable, and affordable housing for working families.

Come laugh with us, celebrate Dr. Henry, and support an important cause.
