The New York kickoff for this year's
Alzheimer's Association Rita Hayworth Gala was held at the studio
of fashion designer Naeem Khan, at 260 West 36th Street. Naeem and
Ranjana Khan hosted the cocktail reception along with Gala Co-Chairs
Princess Yasmin Aga Khan and Allen Brill.
The evening was in anticipation of the Alzheimer's Association Rita Hayworth
Gala, themed "After 25 Years…A Sparking Silver Celebration,"
which will take place on Tuesday, October 28 in the Grand Ballroom of the
Waldorf=Astoria Hotel.
The annual Rita Hayworth Gala is one of New York City's most successful
fundraising events. Last year, they raised more than $2 million. In the
past 24 years, the Rita Hayworth Galas in New York and Chicago have raised
more than $50 million for Alzheimer's Association care, support and research
programs. Princess Yasmin established the Gala in memory of her mother,
Rita Hayworth, who suffered from the disease for many years before
her death.
Lily Safra will be the 2008 Rita Hayworth Award recipient and the Hearst
Corporation, Frank A. Bennack, Jr., Vice Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer is the 2008 Corporate Award recipient. Rolex Watch USA, Inc. is
Underwriting the Gala.
