Happy New Year from AFA
A new year means new opportunities for us all. Here at the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA), our New Year’s resolution is to increase the support, services, and education we provide to individuals, caregivers, and families affected by dementia-related illnesses, as well as fund additional research toward better treatment and a cure.
The number of individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease is projected to continue growing in 2023. Your gift will help us:
• Invest in new research projects aimed at finding new treatments and a cure
• Expand our educational and support offerings
• Undertake a national Educating America Tour to connect communities across the country with information about Alzheimer’s, brain health, caregiving, and advance planning
• Publish a new educational children’s book to give adults an additional resource to teach young children about Alzheimer’s disease
• Award new college scholarships to high school seniors impacted by dementia-related illnesses
• Break ground on a new Education and Resource Center that will provide activity and therapeutic programming, training classes for caregivers, and free community memory screening programs
