Alzheimer's Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville Launches 40 Days of Giving Fundraiser

The Alzheimer's Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville is gearing up for its annual 40 Days of Giving fundraiser, running from August 8 to September 17. This initiative aims to raise $10,000 to support the society's programs and services for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, as well as their families and caregivers.

The Alzheimer's Society, an active member of the community for the past 40 years, offers a range of services designed to provide support, education, and social activities. These include adult day programs, phone support, virtual programs, and free dementia-friendly community education for businesses.

The adult day programs, available for a fee of $20, offer leisure activities, meals, personal care, physical exercise, and support groups. Funds raised through the 40 Days of Giving will help sustain and expand these programs, and also cover the costs of providing coffee and snacks for support groups, entertainment for programs, and craft supplies for participants.

In addition to its regular services, the society also reaches out into the community to provide education, awareness, and support. Last year, the society had approximately 10,000 visits across its programming.

The 40 Days of Giving fundraiser also aims to help reduce the stigma around cognitive declines and make communities more Alzheimer's and dementia friendly. The society's educational programs help businesses serving and supporting those with Alzheimer's and other dementias, ensuring they are equipped to provide the best possible care and support.

The Alzheimer's Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville is committed to providing low-cost and free programming, education, respite, and support groups for those affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The funds raised through the 40 Days of Giving will bring hope and empowerment to those living with these conditions, as well as their caregivers.
