2017 Chicago Rita Hayworth Gala
On May 13, 2017 we will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Chicago Rita Hayworth Gala! Last year, this annual spring black tie event attracted more than 800 guests and raised over $1 million dollars for the Alzheimer’s Association. These funds, combined with other donations, have helped the Alzheimer’s Association work toward our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. We hope you will save the date!
