David will receive the FREC Lifetime Achievement Award at The Star Gala to be held 6:30pm on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at Magic City Casino. Details here.

This year’s recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award is David Cassidy. His extraordinary success began on television with “The Partridge Family” which brought him instant super-stardom and spawned David’s 40 year career as a recording, Broadway, Las Vegas and worldwide personality who set the bar high for those who have followed. He has received numerous awards in the music industry and an Emmy nomination for “Police Story.” Of late however, despite his ongoing concert tours, his foremost goal is to be the face of Alzheimer’s awareness in an effort to educate, fundraise and help people to find the latest information and solutions on treatments, research, prevention and, very importantly, care taking. He is travelling across the country speaking to various groups and organizations. He has also been an advocate for actors’ and musicians’ rights and was an active supporter of Kids Charities, a non-profit that his wife, Sue Shifrin-Cassidy, created a decade ago.

David performed during the NJ Hall Of Fame Ceremony on June 9, 2012.
