Celebrity chef Sara Moulton, a friend of FENI, teamed up with New York City's Grand Central Oyster Bar and New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi to raise Alzheimer's awareness. The second annual "Remember When, Remember Now" gala was held June 15 and celebrated Oyster Bar's 96th birthday while raising funds for Girardi's Catch 25 Foundation for Alzheimer's research.
Moulton received the second annual Ruth Friedman Tribute Award, which honors the memory of the Oyster Bar executive chef Sandy Ingber's mother-in-law, who was afflicted with Alzheimer's. Moulton was feted for her culinary excellence and good will. Moulton and Ingber were classmates at the Culinary Institute of America.
