The ALS Association – Wisconsin Chapter recently held its annual Evening of Hope, a black tie event with 100% of the proceeds going toward research for the cure. This year, the event was honored with guest speaker Courtney B. Vance – a name you may recognize from successful productions such as “The Hunt for Red October,” “Law and Order: Criminal Intent,” “The Closer,” and most recently from his portrayal of Johnnie Cochran in the hit series “The People vs. O.J. Simpson.” With drinks, live and silent auctions, as well as entertainment and dancing, it was a night not only of fun, but of hope for a cure.
