https://www.instagram.com/p/C6ouiidv39P/ dondiamont 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 for @nancyleegrahn for organizing #DaytimeUnites to benifit @als_one_official ! I lost one of my oldest, and dearest friends to ALS, so I was especially glad I could participate. Thanks to everyone involved!🙏🏻❤️ -------------------- Don has a bunch of pics on this ig post. He said that he lost one of his oldest and dearest friends to ALS.

Now we have *three* videos of different views from different event participants, of Cynthia Watros doing the "Drew Carey dance" at this event. I mean, why not celebrate all the views? And then the comparison twitter video with her original dance on the Drew Carey show. I'll put these twitter videos behind spoiler tags, so as not to slow down the loading of this thread. _________________ view from one fan's table: Link: https://twitter.com/JackieTallarido/status/1786903956901470528 The embedded twitter video behind spoiler tag: _________________ View from another fan's table, Link: https://twitter.com/AUTigers4Ever/status/1787202773144269231 The embedded twitter video behind spoiler tag: _________________ A much clearer view but without the intro.

Thank you for this info. Specifically the bioavailable part.

That had been my impression, too.

I don't know if you've read this book but it comes highly recommended, and it's available in book, audio, and kindle formats. The book is quite old, but still relevant, I think. https://www.amazon.com/Narcissistic-Family-Diagnosis-Treatment/dp/0787908703/ ISBN-10: 0787908703 ISBN-13: 978-0787908706 This is one review that kind of sums up the situation: https://www.amazon.com/review/RLHTZB3OF5DFB/

updated the above post about the auction, with more info.

They had several fundraising methods. 1) buy a ticket to the event. 2) donate to ALS One via the event website. 3) donate something to the silent auction or buy something from the silent auction. edit to add: 4) items donated for the raffle, attendees purchasing raffle tickets. These are the items and opportunities available at the auction. The auction might be closed now but you can still see the listings https://live.classy.org/auction/new-event/05132560-5958-4aa6-8bf3-7c25f4f4b882 Items included a Y&R signed script from Victor and Nikki's 1984 wedding. a B&B signed script from (not sure, but I think it says episode 3921). Special lunches or zoom events with a few actors, including Thorsten Kaye, Kathkleen Gati, Wally Kurth, Cameron Mathison. Hats, coffee cups, etc. signed by actors. set tours of B&B and Y&R Photos signed by actors _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Updating this post much later on, with more info: Actually I think there were lots more items; but the ones that were sold earlier are no longer showing on the list. . At one point, I could see a bids page, listing actual names or "anonymous" ... with those who had won a bid paying X amount at the auction. In some cases, I saw that people had bid hundreds of dollars or a thousand dollars for something (but it didn't say what they bid for). -------------- One item was donated by a fan: The fan painted watercolors of GH characters. EDIT - These watercolor prints were prizes for raffle tickets purchased at the event.

Just to put everything on one thread: Nancy interviewed by SOD March 13, 2024 https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/general-hospitals-nancy-lee-grahn-alexis-on-her-star-studded-fundraiser/ Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, GH) has been hard at work planning a star-studded ALS fundraiser that will take place on May 4 in Glendale, CA. “This is going to be a really classy event for ALS, where all monies are going to ALS,” begins Grahn. “It’s crossing over to all the soaps, so we have big players from all the soaps coming.” While ALS factors into Grahn’s current on-air life as Alexis, whose friend and colleague, Gregory, is battling the disease, the cause is actually close to Grahn’s heart for a different reason. “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference. I thought, ‘We should gather together, have a fun day and night, and raise money!’ It’s called Daytime Unites, and it’s my hope that we do it again next year for another meaningful, underfunded cause.” The event will feature not only opportunities to mix and mingle with the stars, “a really fun panel with the actors with some games and autographs, but a concert, as well,” the actress reports. “It should be a really fun event. It starts at one and will probably go until about nine or 10 at night. We need to sell lots of tickets and every penny is a tax deduction and will go to ALS,” she stresses. ______________

You’re a true gentleman and great friend ❤️ _____________________________ tried making a screengrab from Stephen Nichols' video _____________________________ Stephen Nichols, in his IG post, said "Neil Bagg, this one’s for you.

I see that Neil Bagg was a talent agent who died of ALS in 2012. https://variety.com/2014/film/obituaries-people-news/neil-bagg-longtime-talent-agent-at-don-buchwald-dies-at-54-1201090624/ _____________________________

from earlier in the day of the event -- interesting to see who was seated with whom for the meet-and-greet autograph part of the day

Preview of one scene for Monday May 6 GH Sneak: Kristina Vents to Alexis Kristina expresses her frustration about how much pressure everyone's putting on her as a surrogate and her pregnancy. Alexis hears her out, but she has some concerns of her own.
