The Alzheimer’s Association celebrated its 31st annual Chicago Rita Hayworth Gala in May at the
Hilton Chicago, featuring the theme of “Pure Imagination” as a nod to the late Gene Wilder who died of complications surrounding Alzheimer’s. The event’s whimsical Willy Wonka decor by
Kehoe Designs included colorful centerpieces with candy. The gala raised $1.1 million.
