The Touching Reason Y&R’s Kate Linder Is Hosting Another ALS Art Benefit

Spoiler Alert: Kate Linder’s Heartfelt Crusade Against ALS Continues with a Special Tribute to Her Mother’s Art! 

The Young and the Restless star Kate Linder, known for her enduring portrayal of Esther Valentine for over four decades, is once again channeling her deep personal commitment into a powerful philanthropic endeavor. On Sunday, August 17th, Linder will host “An Afternoon of Art,” a special event designed to benefit the ALS Network. This initiative is particularly poignant as it celebrates the artistic legacy of her late mother, California artist Molly Wolveck, while simultaneously raising crucial funds for vital ALS research and comprehensive patient care.The Young and the Restless Kate Linder ALS fundraiser.

The charity event, aptly titled “An Afternoon of Art, Heart, and Hope,” will take place at the prestigious 9176 Gallery in West Hollywood, running from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This timing is especially convenient for dedicated fans, as it provides the perfect follow-up for those attending the official Y&R fan gathering held the day before. Attendees can anticipate a truly meaningful and inspiring afternoon, filled with opportunities to appreciate beautiful art, connect with a passionate community, and contribute to a truly noble cause. The ambiance promises to be one of shared purpose and emotional resonance, making it a unique experience for both art enthusiasts and Y&R devotees.

Linder’s dedication to fighting ALS stems from a profoundly personal place. Her journey as a spokesperson and ambassador for the ALS Network began in 2004, following the devastating diagnosis of her beloved brother-in-law, Scott Buzzell. Since that pivotal moment, Linder and her late husband, Dr. Ron Linder, along with their extended families, have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the cause. Their tireless efforts have focused on actively helping to fund groundbreaking research, significantly raising public awareness about ALS, and advocating fiercely for the discovery of a definitive cure. This long-standing personal mission underscores the depth of her passion and her relentless pursuit of a world free from this debilitating disease.Young and the Restless' star holds second job as flight attendant to not  'forget who' she is | Fox News

Building on the remarkable success of her first fundraiser held last winter, Linder is now taking her commitment even further. She is generously donating an even larger collection of her mother’s exquisite artwork, ensuring that Molly Wolveck’s creative spirit continues to serve this vital mission. This time, Linder is also joined by two equally generous collaborators: Craig Byrd and Roy Oldenkamp. Both have stepped forward to contribute pieces from their own cherished private art collections, further amplifying the potential to raise significant funds and broaden the impact of the event. Their collective contributions promise a diverse and captivating display of art for attendees.

At the heart of “An Afternoon of Art” will be Molly Wolveck’s captivating artwork, which will once again take center stage. These pieces will not merely be admired for their aesthetic beauty; they will serve a much greater, transformative purpose. Every single piece of art on display will be available for purchase, with an extraordinary commitment that 100% of all proceeds will directly benefit the ALS Network. This ensures that every dollar spent on a beautiful piece of art contributes directly to research and care. Further supporting this noble endeavor, Southern California developer Faring has generously provided the gallery space, creating an ideal setting for the exhibition. For those unable to attend in person but wishing to contribute, additional donations can be conveniently made online via www.TeamKateLinder.org.The Young and the Restless' Kate Linder supports the ALS Network

“I’m thrilled that my mom’s artwork will once again be able to help people with ALS through the ALS Network,” Linder expressed with heartfelt enthusiasm. Her words highlight the deep emotional connection between her mother’s artistic legacy and her ongoing fight against ALS. “I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there for a wonderful afternoon filled with amazing art… so that we can make even more progress towards finding a cure for ALS.” Linder’s optimism and dedication are infectious, inviting everyone to join her in this vital cause. The event is more than just an art show; it’s a testament to the power of family, remembrance, and the unwavering human spirit in the face of adversity. It’s an opportunity for fans and the wider community to directly contribute to life-changing research while celebrating the beauty of art and the legacy of a talented artist.
