The 2021 AWARE Affair: Celebrate the Moments – Alzheimer's Myths Unveiled took place on a beautiful spring evening at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden on April 16, 2021.
"This morning’s deluge had us a little worried,” said Barbara Glass, president of AWARE. “We were prepared for any situation but were so thankful when the weather cleared. The food vignettes and entertainment were all covered. The silent auction displayed under clear canopies draped in soft lighting brought an aura of being its own party, it was decorated so beautifully.”
Live performances included:
- Stomping Ground Comedy performing inside Rosine Hall
- Plano Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet and Texas Winds Musical Outreach Perennial Brass Quintet performing outside in Ginsburg Plaza
- Texas Winds Musical Outreach Trinity River Jazz Kings performing outside in Ginsburg Plaza during the dessert reception
As the night progressed, the Alzheimer's myths were revealed and awards from 2020 and 2021 were presented. Glass also thanked underwriters, sponsors and everyone else who helped make this event so fabulous. The Senior Resource Guide was a proud continued sponsor of this event.
New this year was the option for guests to attend the experience virtually and have a four-course dinner for two and a bottle of wine delivered to the comfort of their home.
Proceeds benefited AWARE, a Dallas-based charity whose mission dedicated to fighting Alzheimer’s disease by providing funding and support to programs, projects and research provided by nonprofit organizations that actively help individuals affected by Alzheimer's in Dallas and the Greater North Texas area.
