Summer Festival & Rodeo
Keep Memory Alive’s annual Summer Festival & Rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch, a private Lake Tahoe estate in Glenbrook, NV, returns on for a weekend of rodeo excitement to raise funds in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases and will include Chef Luciano Pellegrini preparing a gourmet dine-around experience and rock legends Rick Springfield and Richard Marx performing.
The weekend of fun and fundraising kicks off with a rodeo featuring bulls, bucks, barrels and BBQ, live music from Left of Centre and dancing, kids’ activities and refreshing summertime cocktails. The weekend will close out with the Sip, Savor and Sweet Sounds event, as James Beard Award winner Luciano Pellegrini prepares a gourmet dine-around experience with exquisite food items paired with wines and spirits and rock legends Rick Springfield and Richard Marx treat guests to a private performance of their greatest hits.
Proceeds support Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health to find, fund and facilitate the most effective and innovative research, treatment and educational support programming for patients and their families affected by brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple system atrophy and multiple sclerosis.
As it celebrates its 15th anniversary in July, the center continues to rely on philanthropy to support the multidisciplinary care it provides to more than 5,000 Nevadans. Every patient receives care far beyond what traditional insurance covers so funds raised at the Festival and Rodeo help offset its losses and ensure it can continue to operate as the only comprehensive subspecialized neurology program in the state.
