| Schedule of Events | |
| 7:00 pm | Dinner Served |
| 9:00 pm | Trace Adkins |
Join your colleagues for an evening of entertainment and camaraderie while supporting the future of the specialty and the AAAAI's Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (ART) at the 2009 ART Gala Dinner.
This year's entertainment will feature a live performance by country superstar Trace Adkins. In 2008, Adkins was nominated for three Country Music Awards and was the runner-up on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.
Adkins has a personal connection to food allergies. His young daughter had a severe, life-threatening reaction to peanut butter when she was just 18 months old. Adkins feels that research could lead to greater understanding of food allergies, and perhaps someday a cure.
Proceeds from this fun and entertaining event will go towards supporting the ART's mission to find treatments and cures for the millions of people suffering from allergies, asthma and other immunologic diseases by supporting education and research.
Come share in a night of entertainment and help make a difference in our future..
