Also in attendance as an honorary guest will be Alex McCord, star of The Real Housewives of New York City.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that severely diminishes a person's memory, ability to reason and, ultimately, the ability to function. Every 69 seconds someone in America develops Alzheimer’s. The event’s proceeds will help the Chapter serve the more than 250,000 people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s that live in the five boroughs of New York City, their family members and caregivers, in addition to providing vital funds for research.
Auction items include tickets to see Jimmy Fallon; a David Yurman color classics cable bracelet; Dover Race NASCAR tickets; and a behind-the-scenes tours of ESPN, including photo ops with “Mike and Mike” and the hosts of “SportsNation.”
Tickets are $125 per person and $225 per couple, and are tax deductible after $60. Each ticket includes access to the Penthouse after-party, which will take place in the Penthouse at The Park at 11:00 p.m. There will be a cash bar at the after-party. A portion of the cash bar proceeds will be donated to the Junior Committee. To purchase tickets, visit alznyc.org/ssl/jrcom/collectiveconsciousness/ or call Chelsea DeMarrais at 646-744-2967. Contact Chelsea for table, VIP, and sponsorship opportunities.
