Actor David Hyde Pierce Hosts Annual Alzheimer’s Gala

Actor David Hyde Pierce hosted the 8th annual Alzheimer’s Association Gala Wednesday night at the National Building Museum.  A staunch supporter of the cause who has returned multiple times for the annual benefit, Pierce lends his name and fame to help the as many as 3.5 million people living with Alzheimer’s.  


He originally became involved for personal reasons.  The disease claimed his grandfather, and his father likely suffered from it as well.


Others joining Pierce, Alzheimer’s Association CEO Harry Johns and Gala co-Chairs George and Trish Vrandenburg included Senators Susan Collins, Debbie Stabenow and Johnny Isakson.
