Former President George H.W. Bush will visit Indianapolis on Nov. 19 for a reception and dinner to aid Alzheimer’s disease research at the IU School of Medicine and the Alzheimer’s Association’s Indiana chapter.

Bush will speak and answer questions from guests at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, said Dollyne Pettingill Sherman , spokeswoman for Ambassador Healthcare, a co-sponsor with the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Physicians who specialize in Alzheimer’s care will speak, and there will be a live auction of “just a few very unique items,” according to Sherman.

Dinner tickets cost $250. Tickets priced at $1,500 admit guests to the reception and dinner and include a photo opportunity with Bush. Sponsorships of $2,500 to $10,000 also are available. The $10,000 level includes an invitation to a private briefing with the former president.

Tickets may be purchased by calling (317) 577-2827.
