Twelfth Annual
Connoisseur's Dinner

Twelfth Annual Connoisseur's Dinner

The ADDF's annual gala presented the Chairman's Award to Fabrizio Freda, President and CEO, The Estée Lauder Companies, who accepted on behalf of The Estée Lauder Companies. This award was established by our Co-Chairmen Leonard Lauder and Ronald Lauder to recognize a prominent leader who is advancing our efforts to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure Alzheimer's disease.

The event also featured a selection of Sotheby's Spring Sales, delicious wine pairings presented by Sotheby's Wine, and our lively "Fund a Scientist" Auction, giving guests a special opportunity to support the ADDF's promising Alzheimer's research.

The evening was hosted by award-winning journalist Paula Zahn.
