A virtual fundraiser event for Alzheimer’s research featuring performances from Justin Willman, the star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic for Humans, and Ashley Campbell, singer-songwriter and daughter of the late Glen Campbell.
For the first time in the event’s decade-long history, the University of California, Irvine Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders (UCI MIND)’s A December to Remember Gala will raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research in a digital setting. While many sectors remain at a standstill due to the pandemic, nonprofits like UCI MIND know that their mission must march forward.
The online broadcast will feature testimonials, an online auction, and performances from Justin Willman, the star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic for Humans, and Ashley Campbell, singer-songwriter and daughter of the late Glen Campbell. Both performers have personally witnessed the impact of Alzheimer’s disease in their lives, and understand the importance of supporting organizations like UCI MIND, Orange County’s only state and federally designated Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, as they work toward a cure for the disease affecting 5.8 million Americans.
