Prager Metis named ‘gold level’ participant for Walk to End Alzheimer’s
The Alzheimer’s Association announced this week that Top 100 Firm Prager Metis has been named a “gold level” national walk team participant for the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s events around the country. The firm has set a fundraising goal of $250,000 for staff members across the country.
“Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s are key events around New York State to help raise awareness and funds for disease that takes far too many lives each year,” stated Christopher Smith, executive director for the Alzheimer’s Association, NYC Chapter. “We truly are thankful for Prager Metis and their willingness to be a national walk team, and their commitment to helping to end Alzheimer’s.”
Alzheimer’s especially hits home for Prager Metis staff members, including co-managing partners Glenn Friedman and David Neste, who each lost their fathers to the disease last spring.
“We knew from day one we wanted our firm to support a cause, and the Alzheimer’s Association was a perfect fit and working with them has been an honor,” said Neste, per a statement.
“Partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association has been incredible, and our Prager Metis team members are all coming together to bring us one step further to finding a cure to this disease,” added Friedman. “We look forward to what the future has in store.”
