The Alzheimer's Blue Moon Gala in Buffalo was amazing with its 70's disco theme. Lasers, mirrored ball and John Travolta
The show opened with a bell ringing and 71 seconds being counted out, demonstrating that every 71 seconds someone develops the disease.
Dave Cascio was the opening speaker, he thanked the 400 or so people attending and brought to light the reason for the event.
Jennifer Gorski from the WNY Alzheimer's Association introduced a touching video
Kevin O'Connell from Channel 2 Weather, as always did a great Job of hosting the live auction, he is so funny.
