Our annual gala featured highlights of Sotheby's Spring Impressionist & Modern Art and Contemporary Art exhibition, a delicious selection of wines presented by Sotheby's, and our lively "Fund a Scientist" Auction, which gives guests a special opportunity to support the ADDF's promising Alzheimer's research. We also presented the annual Chairman's Award to Tad Smith, President and CEO, Sotheby's, who accepted on behalf of Sotheby's. This award was established by our Co-Chairmen Leonard A. Lauder and Ronald S. Lauder to recognize a prominent leader who is advancing our efforts to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure Alzheimer's disease.
