A masterful
list of superstars comes together for a spectacular fundraiser to support MSA
(multiple system atrophy) awareness. The evening finds world-renowned chefs
preparing a rock ‘n roll dine-around that reflects the spirit of Chef Kerry
Simon and his passion for food, music and imagination. While the culinary team
provides the bites, Kerry’s musician friends will band together onstage for the
performance of a lifetime as guests rock, chow and mingle for a great cause.
Partnering
with Keep Memory Alive, the charitable arm of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo
Center for Brain Health, Kerry and his supporters have put together an amazing
night of electrifying music and gastronomic greatness to raise money for this
important, and often ignored, cause.
This
cocktail party, unlike any other, will feature chefs including Daniel Boulud,
Kim Canteenwalla, Wylie DuFresne, Grant Macpherson, Michael Mina, Rick Moonen,
Justin Nilson, Charlie Palmer, Megan Romano, Tony Schutz, Mark Tarbell and
Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Rockers Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar and Vince Neil
join house band Sin City Sinners to entertain as supporters dine and imbibe.
Special guest Sabriel will also perform during the party.

ABOUT
THE “SIMON SAYS FIGHT MSA” MOVEMENT
In
December 2013, rock ‘n roll chef Kerry Simon bravely went public to let the
community know that he is battling multiple system atrophy (MSA), an incurable
and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative, and ultimately fatal, disease that
affects multiple parts of the body, causing slowness of movement, muscle
rigidity and poor balance. Kerry’s newfound mission in life is to improve the
level of knowledge of MSA, speak up to increase global awareness of the disease
and to create a network for those affected by MSA and their families. March is
MSA Awareness month, help spread the word! Simon Says Fight MSA! #FMSA
