AFAR invites you to join us for the 2014 MetLife Foundation Awards for Medical Research ceremony and reception.
Now in their 28th year, The MetLife Awards recognize major scientific contributions that have promoted a better understanding of the underlying causes, prevention, and treatments of Alzheimer’s disease. This year’s award ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 15th from 3-5pm at the MetLife Building in New York City. The program includes a research briefing followed by presentation of the Major Awards and a Promising Research award, totaling $600,000.
The keynote speaker will be Mark Shriver, author of A Good Man, a memoir chronicling lessons learned from caring for his late father’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
A light reception concludes the event, starting at 5pm.
For over 25 years, MetLife and MetLife Foundation have invested more than $32 million for Alzheimer's research and public information programs, including over $17 million through the Awards for Medical Research in Alzheimer’s Disease program, which AFAR administers.
