The Bar Mitzvah event for Franco is also set up by the couple to raise awareness for people suffering from Alzheimer's as per PrezHilton. Both Seth and Lauren put up the charity after her mother suffered from the disease at the age of 55. The Hilary for Charity event was founded by the couple with the help of their friends Raffi Adlan, Matthew Bass, and Tum Cohl. They're a team of 4 people standing up against the disease and raising awareness, doing their best to fight Alzheimer's.
Hilary for Charity has been running for two years and is still going strong. It's an annual event to raise funds for research, support, and awareness and care relief program.
