Lou-Ellen Barkan, President and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association, New York City Chapter, said, "Tonight we are joined by many stars of the screen, stage and even the football field. I would like to thank them for shining a spotlight on this devastating disease. Julianne's poignant portrayal of someone with early onset Alzheimer's disease has encouraged a new generation to think about the disease in a way they never have before. As an Alzheimer's caregiver - on and off the screen - Kim has raised awareness about the demands of this important role. And our young honorees Mike, Marielle and Sam are teaching the community that Alzheimer's affects people of all ages.

"I'd also like to thank the other stars in the room tonight: our caregivers - our "everyday heroes" - who don't always get the recognition they deserve; our brilliant scientists and researchers who spend endless days and nights searching for a cure and effective treatments; and so many other Chapter supporters who are here tonight because you understand just how critical our work is. Together, we will ensure that no one in the Alzheimer's community has to go it alone," Barkan concluded.

The evening offered a cocktail reception, spectacular silent and live auctions and dinner and dancing to Hank Lane Music and Productions with Harris Lane, band leader. The live auction was led by Sotheby's auctioneer Eli Rodriguez.
