The tenth annual Alzheimer’s Association Greater Maryland Chapter’s Memory Ball was held on April 16 at the Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, MD. The theme was “Dancing with the Stars.” Nine local and talented “Dancing Stars” performed their latest dance moves and fancy footwork to compete for the largest amount of “votes” ($1 of donation equals one vote) in front of guests and the celebrity judges. Renaye Briscoe dazzled the judges to win the “Judges’ Choice for Best Dance,” and the Alzheimer’s Association awarded Richard and Susan Sunderland DeFelice with raising the largest amount of “votes. “ All proceeds from the Memory ball will fund critical research and supportive services which will enable the Alzheimer’s Association to accelerate its mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease.
