Our special events provide critical funding to support our services, programs, education, advocacy and research efforts. As well, they offer a rewarding engagement opportunity for donors, volunteers and sponsors.
Affairs to Remember Gala Season
The "Affairs to Remember" Gala season is a series of events hosted by friends of the Alzheimer’s Association throughout the spring of 2010. Support our programs and services by hosting your own “Affair to Remember.” From an elegant evening in your home to a pitchfork fondue for fifty; from a Wii Tournament to a Casino Night – the food, the fun, the guest list – you choose it all.
One example is putting together a Comedy Night for an evening of laughter & libations. This party is $40/ticket and includes beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks. Support our programs and services by hosting your own "Affairs to Remember." Contact Margie or Lynn for details at 949.955.9000 for details, including available tools and resources.
