Other special guests will be actor Robert Young, March of Dimes founder James Roosevelt (Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son), and Charles Massey, the organization’s national president.
To be held in the new Conference Pavilion Ballroom at the Hotel Inter-Continental, the evening begins with cocktails at 6 p.m. and will continue with dinner at 7 p.m. The dress code specifies black tie.
