10/25/2011 - By New York, NY

2011 Alzheimer’s Association Rita Hayworth Gala

On Tuesday, October 25, 2011, Alzheimer's Association hosted their 28th annual New York Rita Hayworth Gala at the Waldorf=Astoria, honoring Somers Farkas and Mindy Grossman.

The theme, "Hollywood Glamour," embodied the glamour of Rita Hayworth while also shining a spotlight on Alzheimer's disease. Over $1.6 million was raised to support the Alzheimer's Association. Princess Yasmin Aga Khan established the Gala as a tribute to her mother, Rita Hayworth, who lived with Alzheimer's disease for many years before her death in 1987. Guests participated in a silent auction throughout cocktails, bidding on one of a kind experiences and items including a doubles match with John McEnroe, a handmade Savoir Bed, and a lunch with Nina Garcia. The evening, chaired by Anne Hearst McInerney and Jay McInerney, inspired generous financial support for the Alzheimer's Association.
