An Aficionado Experience
Presented by Northwestern Mutual
to benefit the Center for Disability Services Foundation, Inc.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the An Aficionado Experience hosts Gina and Alessandro Tronco and Christine and George R. Hearst III, and our friends at Northwestern Mutual and Forts Ferry Farm for a spectacular 30th Anniversary celebration. We would also like to thank our loyal sponsors, attendees and silent auction participants for ensuring the continued success of this incredible event. Adding to the excitement of Roger Clemens’ appearance was his performance of “Dream Walkin” in memory of his dear friend the late Toby Keith. Please enjoy scrolling through the two event photo galleries. If you would like to support the event, you can still do so by making a donation or bidding on the remaining silent auction items on the Center’s website. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s 31st Annual An Aficionado Experience event presented by Northwestern Mutual in September 2025 at Forts Ferry Farm in Latham.
Online silent auction reopened! Bidding closes October 16th at 9:00pm.
