The 39th annual Alzheimer’s Association Imagine Benefit, built on the legacy of the Rita Hayworth Gala, was recently held at New York’s iconic Jazz at Lincoln Center.
The event, hosted by two-time Olympic medalist and Alzheimer’s Association Celebrity Champion, Laurie Hernandez, raised more than $700,000 in critical funds for the organization’s care, support, and research programs. Additionally, the evening brought amplified awareness to Alzheimer’s, a disease that affects more than 6 million Americans and more than 11 million caregivers.
This year’s Imagine Benefit Host Committee, Karim Barrada, Sharon Bush & Bob Murray, Emily & Jon Gelb, Michele Herbert, Cheri Kaufman, Brooke & Oliver Kennan, Naeem Khan, Karyn Kornfeld & Steven Kobre, Louise & Stephen Kornfeld, Fifi & Scott Leachman, Jaqui Lividini, Robin & Roger Meltzer, Douglas Meyer, Craig Michaelson, Deanna Rockefeller, Peter Thomas Roth, Michelle Rubel, Nicole Sexton, Suzanne Silverstein, Martha Webster, and Jennifer & Lonnie Wollin, were joined by guests including Randy Hearst Harris, Ubah Hassan & Oliver Dachsel, Francine LeFrak & Rick Friedberg, David Monn, Josie Natori, PJ Pascual, and Sarah Tam.
