Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) NYC Gala has returned for the foundation’s fifth annual fundraiser. The charitable affair has raised an impressive $2.5 million. The event was hosted by Rosanna Scotto, co-host of FOX 5’s “Good Day New York”. Global Lyme Alliance is dedicated to conquering Lyme and other tick-borne diseases through research, education, awareness, and patient services. The gala was produced by event planner Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events, who donated his event planning and design services towards the Global Lyme Alliance’s New York Gala for the fifth consecutive year.
Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) is the leading private nonprofit dedicated to conquering Lyme disease through research and education. Currently, there are no accurate diagnostic tests for Lyme disease. The disease can continue to spread throughout the body, often leading to debilitating health consequences. Even following proper diagnosis and treatment, many individuals continue to experience symptoms of Lyme, including severe arthritis, persistent fatigue, impaired vision, memory loss and other cognitive problems. There is no test to definitively prove that Lyme bacteria have been eradicated or that an individual has been cured following treatment. Thankfully, organizations like GLA are helping to fight the disease.
