An Evening to End Alzheimer’s Gala set for Saturday

An Evening to End Alzheimer’s Gala will be held on Saturday night.

The event at Rivers Casino will be in honor of John Marcantonio, who is a longtime supporter. He took NewsChannel 13’s Faith King on a Hike to Paint the Peaks Purple to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s. He lost his mother to the disease.

The association describes him as unmatched and said he continues to inspire us to keep fighting until we end Alzheimer’s.

John Marcantonio died last July after a brief, courageous battle with cancer.
