Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson were there as honorary chairs. They both have Alzheimer's in their families and told some great stories. Granny's doctor, Dr. Liu, was presented with the Maureen Reagan Award and gave a small speech. It was great to be able to hear that others struggle with the same things we do at our house.
The silent and live auctions didn't do so hot, but they were still fun. Many thanks to my friend, Jason, for inviting me. I also had fun getting dressed up and enjoying a free dinner!

Hey! I just found this blog from your travel blog. I scrolled back and found this post from Friday after the Gala! I'm SO glad you had a good time. Wanted to let you know that with attendance, donations and silent auction combined a little over $70,000 was raised that evening. Thank you for coming, I had a great time as well!
