The 23rd annual Rita Hayworth Gala, hosted by The Alzheimer’s Association, is held at the Fairmont Chicago in Chicago, Illinois on May 8, 2010. Held annually on Mother’s Day weekend, the Gala celebrates medical research and programs that enhance progress in treatment, prevention and the search to find a cure. Since its inception in 1987, the Chicago Rita Hayworth Gala has raised more than $17 million.

Tickets for the event start at $500. Further details are available at the Rita Hayworth Gala website.

Hopefully some of the Rita Hayworth fans will be able to attend this event. I’m sure it will be a wonderful event and such a great way to support the important cause.
