Sanders-Brown Center for Aging Fundraiser
September 19, 2002, Marriott Griffiin Gate Resort - Lexington, Ky.

The University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging hosted Hugh Downs, former co-anchor of “ABC News” and “20/20,” at the 16th annual UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Foundation dinner at Marriott Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington.

The dinner was the foundation’s major fund-raiser of the year. Downs, who left “20/20” in September 1999, is one of America’s most familiar television news personalities.

Named in honor of Col. Harlan Sanders and John Y. Brown Sr., the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is one of 10 original Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This year, Sanders-Brown received notice of the institute’s renewed funding through 2005, marking 20 years of continuous NIH support. The current NIH grant provides about $1.5 million yearly.
