Moonlight Garden Gala Invite

The Addi and Cassi Fund Presents:
Moonlight Garden Gala
A benefit for Childhood Alzheimer’s (NP-C)

On Saturday, May 10, 2008, 1000 friends and family joined us for a sold out star-filled night at the new Downtown Reno Ballroom to help find a cure to “Childhood Alzheimer’s” (Niemann-Pick Type C), a rare, progressive and fatal neurological disease that is robbing children of all ages around the world of their ability to walk, talk, or even remember the name of their favorite stuffed animal.

The event was a mystical evening of hope, wonder and childhood dreams as we honored our four-year-old twins, Addi and Cassi Hempel, and children all over the world who suffer from Niemann Pick Tyep C.  Our guests will be treated to an elegant evening with a celebrity performance by Meilnda Doolittle and Terry Fator.  We held silent and live auctions, uplifting music in this enchanting atmosphere and transformed the ballroom into a beautiful moonlit garden, designed in the spirit of a child’s imagination, with tree-lined paths, twinkle lights, fireflies and a fountain of wishes.

    I am happy to donate a day of transcription services for any physician or person who may require typing services, including that of a special project, a medical-legal QME eval, neuropsych eval, etc.

    Hi:
    We are Elia and Zaray and we babysit Addi and Cassi on a regular basis and we would like to donate our babysitting services for an entire day to Mom and Dad who would like to get out for a special trip, play golf or go to the movies and dinner.

    We are also trying to raise money at our high school (Spanish Springs in Reno NV) and are going to speak with the knitting classes to see if they will participate in the CureCaps project make hats to raise money for NPC research.

    Love,
    Zaray and Elia

    Chris & Hugh,

    I’ve added the May 10 fundraiser to my calendar and will be there.

    As for volunteering, since I live in SF, please let me know what I can do to help organize the SF fundraiser. I imagine this will be done in conjunction with Spark, so consider me a member of the team to work on whatever you need in SF!

    Love,
    Julie
