Ben Feldman, who plays Andrew on NBC’s A to Z, attended Seth Rogen’s 3rd Annual Hilarity for Charity event which benefits Alzheimer’s research and education. The Variety Show has entertained young, hip professionals through evenings filled with music and comedy while creating the next generation of Alzheimer’s advocates – not to mention serving up some delicious food and raising close to $1 million!
The funds raised through the proceeds from the event in the past two years and will continue to do so this year to benefit the following:
-
We have earmarked funds to support the following research grants focused on early-onset and detection of Alzheimer’s disease:
- Ramon Casanova, Ph.D. Wake Forest University Health Sciences: New Methods for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Carrie R. McDonald, Ph.D. University of California, San Diego La Jolla, California: Statistically Determined MCI Subtypes: Genetics, Biomarkers and Outcomes.
