The magic of Motown came alive at the highly anticipated Alzheimer’s Association Rita Hayworth gala, Reach Out I’ll Be There, honoring Phyllis George, at the Waldorf. Princess Yasmin Aga Khan established this dazzling event in the memory of her late mother, Rita Hayworth, who suffered from this dreadful disease for many years before her death in 1987.
Co-chairs Deborah Grubman, Donna Dixon Aykroyd, Muffie Potter Aston, Claudia Cohen, Susan Hess, and Nurit Kahane Haase hosted.
The ultra-glam evening featured a potpourri of New York’s A-list: Joy and Regis Philbin, Ivana Trump, Dan Aykroyd, Grace Hightower, Fran Drescher, Hilary and Bryant Gumbel, Candace Bushnell, Kathy Lee Gifford, Alan Grubman, Lucia Hwong Gordon, Amy Fine Collins, John Hess, Anne Hearst and Jay McInerney, John and Margo Catsimatidis, Marty Richards, Katherine and Ken Chenault, Andrea and John Stark, Denise and Larry Wohl, Cornelia and Marty Bregman, Dina Merrill and Ted Hartley, Nikki Haskell, Denise Rich, Dana Hammond Stubgen, Geoffrey Bradfield, and Harry Johns.
This over-the-top event raised over $3 million!
