It was a wonderful night!
On May 5, 2025, we celebrated DOROT's Annual Benefit. We were thrilled to celebrate five extraordinary older adults – Adele Dressner, Dan Joiner, Marian Lewis, Roz Raskin, and Viviane Topp – whose commitment to building intergenerational connections brings deep meaning to our work. We are endlessly grateful for their dedication to DOROT’s mission and for inspiring us all with their wisdom, warmth, and impact.
View the video we showed at the event below, where our honorees spoke beautifully about the positive impact DOROT has had on their lives:
We also heard from Allison Gilbert, an Emmy Award winning journalist and co-author of Dr. Ruth’s final book: The Joy of Connections. She spoke with Executive Director Mark Meridy about the origins of the book, working with Dr. Ruth, and more.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening!
