Beyond his success as a solo artist and with Loggins & Messina, he also became the first major rock star to focus on music for children and families, with “Return to Pooh Corner” remaining one of the best-selling children’s albums of the past 20 years. He will also be inducted into the Sound Support Foundation’s People’s Music Hall of Fame.

For 30 years, the Power of Love gala has been Las Vegas’s signature philanthropic event, supporting brain health through purpose, community and clinical excellence. What began in 1995 as a memorial dinner honoring Lou Ruvo evolved into an annual gala founded by Larry and Camille Ruvo, blending the glamour of Las Vegas with world-class culinary and entertainment experiences, driven by the belief that “the most powerful word is love.”

Today, the gala fuels the work of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, funding research, medical training, and no-cost support programs for patients and caregivers. Since opening in 2009, the center has supported more than 152,000 program visits, offering everything from hands-on skill developing workshops and music therapy to educational seminars and access to the Lynn Ruffin-Smith library, and facilitated over 322,000 patient appointments, with more than 7,300 lives currently in its care.

“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we reflect on three decades of fundraising that have fueled groundbreaking clinical innovation,” said Keep Memory Alive co-founder and chairman Larry Ruvo. “We are deeply grateful to this extraordinary lineup of entertainers who have generously shared their talent to help us continue expanding access to new treatment options and essential services that improve quality of life and help us keep memory alive.”

Chefs Wolfgang Puck and Charlie Palmer, joined for the first time by their sons Byron Lazaroff Puck and Reed Palmer, will create an exclusive menu that is a true family affair, paired with curated wines from Southern Glazer’s Beverage Company.

Camille and Larry Ruvo will also present the Community Leadership Award to Michael S. Meldman. Meldman is the founder and chairman of Discovery Land Company, an iconic international real estate developer and operator of private residential communities. Meldman and Discovery are recognized as having altered the Las Vegas real estate scene with the development of The Summit, one of the most exclusive communities in southern Nevada. Meldman also co-founded Casamigos alongside George Clooney, which sold to Diageo for $1 billion, was a founding investor in luxury athleisure brand Vuori, and became part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024.
