The Alzheimer’s Association will host its annual Charlotte Memory Gala on Saturday, May 3, from 6:00 – 11:00 p.m. at The Westin Charlotte (601 S. College Street) to benefit Alzheimer’s research, risk reduction, early detection, education and quality care for the more than 210,000 North Carolinians currently living with the disease and their 373,000 caregivers.
Chaired by Steve and Dee Dee Leeolou, this year’s coveted Memory Gala will include a welcome reception, live and silent auctions, seated dinner, and live music by Musically Yours and The Herringbones. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on exciting vacation opportunities, unique in-home chef experiences, and much more.
Here’s a small taste of some of the incredible auction items that will be available:
- Choose your own adventure and select a fabulous vacation in one of these spectacular destination spots: Cayman Islands, Lake Tahoe, Costa Rica, Mexico and more!
- In Home dining experiences from some sought after chefs here in Charlotte
- Artwork from Michael Dorsey, a talented visual artist from New Bern who poignantly captured his emotional journey of caring for his wife Susan, who succumbed to Alzheimer’s last year. His recent exhibitions showcase this deeply personal narrative through his evocative artwork. Meet Michael and see some of his powerful creations here, here and here.
