Autoimmune Association Celebrates 25th Anniversary in New York City

Happy 25th Anniversary to us!

An anonymous donor feted AARDA’s 25th Anniversary at a gala held at Bouley Botanical in New York City! Autoimmune Association thanks Chef David Bouley, Kyle Marcelli, the Relapsing Polychondritis Awareness and Support Foundation, and our many friends who attended this special event. Guests loved Chef Bouley’s food presentation over the six courses. And speaking of presentations, special guest Noel Rose, MD, PhD and Kyle Marcelli provided a couple of their own. A highlight of the evening was a short presentation from Dr. Rose on autoimmuity. Afterwards, guests enjoyed a special video presented by Kyle (Marcelli Motorsports). To end a wonderful night, Chef Bouley sent guests homw with a specially prepared Bouley cake. One might say that was “the icing on the cake.”
