"BEFORE I FORGET: LOVE, HOPE, HELP AND ACCEPTANCE IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S" AN EVENING WITH B. SMITH AND DAN GASBY In honor of The Longest Day® on June 20, 2016, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Rho Theta Omega Chapter and the Ivy League Foundation—with financial support from Always Best Care—collaborated with the Chapter to host a book signing featuring lifestyle icon, model and author, B. Smith who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2013. Nearly 300 attended the special event at The School District of Philadelphia. B. Smith’s husband, Dan Gasby, delivered heartfelt remarks about his wife while she prepared to make her entrance. He spoke candidly about their life and the challenges brought on by her Alzheimer’s diagnosis and the day they both discovered something was terribly wrong. Following his talk, B came out to take questions from the audience after which she autographed books and took photos with guests. Attendees were encouraged to engage with B and Dan and our staff to discuss the impact of Alzheimer’s disease. This was indeed a special evening of love, hope, help and acceptance.
