“The Als Network has been informed that Eric Dane had hoped to join us this evening to accept his Advocate of the Year Award, but due to the physical realities of Als, he is not well enough to attend,” the organization said in a statement ahead of the Pasadena event. “We remain deeply grateful for his courage, advocacy, and continued commitment to the Als community, and we honor him fully this evening with our profound respect and support. Aaron Lazar, Broadway star and Grammy Award nominee, will accept the award on his behalf.”
The gala celebrates those driving change while raising critical funds to advance cures and care for people living with Als, and set Dane as its headlining honoree back in September.
