Due to the COVID-19 shutdown, the Aces for Alzheimer’s primary fundraising event was cancelled in 2020, but an online event allowed the non-profit to deliver a $50,000 check to Dr. Richard Isaacson, Director of the Alzheimer’s’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell.
The Prevention Clinic lost critical funding and was forced to halt key research activities after letting go all research consultants and numerous full-time employees. The $50,000 contribution allowed for re-hirings and for work to resume on important research activities.
