“FORGET-ME-NOT” GALA, AN EVENING TO END ALZHEIMER’S
Monday, June 3, 2013
• 6:00- 6:30 p.m. – VIP Reception (special ticket required)
• 6:30 p.m. – Cocktail reception; Silent auction begins
• 7:30 p.m. – Dinner & dancing to Valerie Romanoff’s Starlight Orchestra; Live auction
The Pierre

Members of New York City’s philanthropic, business, health care and Alzheimer’s communities will join forces at the annual “Forget-Me-Not” Gala, An Evening to End Alzheimer’s hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, New York City Chapter.

Renowned star of stage and screen Victor Garber, who most recently appeared in Argo, winner of this year’s Academy Award for Best Picture, will emcee the event. An ardent supporter of the Chapter, he lost both parents to complications from Alzheimer's disease.

Christian G. Heilmann, Chief Fiduciary Executive, U.S. Trust, will receive the Chapter’s Community Leadership Award for his commitment to addressing the issues of eldercare that are so prominent in today’s family dynamics and his leadership in developing the firm’s recently introduced Eldercare Planning program.

The Chapter’s Creative Leadership Award will go to actor Laurie Metcalf and the Broadway Production of “The Other Place” for Metcalf’s brilliant performance in a drama that movingly – and realistically – portrays the devastating emotional impact of early onset dementia. Metcalf is extraordinary as a physician struggling with the challenges and frustrations of declining cognition and family conflict.

Two members of the Chapter’s Junior Committee, Preeti Ashok Parasharami and Mikhail Raybshteyn, both Ernst & Young employees, will receive the Chapter’s Young Leadership Award for actively promoting the Chapter’s programs and raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia.

David Hyde Pierce, 2007 Tony Award winner and tireless advocate in the Alzheimer’s community and with the New York City Chapter, will also attend the event. He serves on the Board of the National Alzheimer’s Association and as a national spokesperson. His father and grandfather died from the disease.

The evening, which will offer a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and dinner and dancing to Valerie Romanoff’s Starlight Orchestra, is expected to raise $1.2 million.

The gala will be chaired by NYC Chapter Board Member, Lori Oscher Friedman and her husband Eric Friedman, Executive Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP & Associates.

TICKETS: Numerous sponsorship opportunities are also available. To purchase tickets, if you would like to support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease but cannot attend the gala, or for more information about advertising opportunities and how to donate auction items, visit www.alz.org/nyc
