June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month & we thought this was the perfect time to highlight an important non-profit across the globe that is near and dear to the hearts of some of our clients. The Alzheimer's Association® is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research.

The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by a group of family caregivers and individuals who recognized the need for an organization that would unite caregivers, provide support to those facing Alzheimer’s and advance research into the disease.

Jerome H. Stone, a visionary in the Alzheimer’s movement, was the founding president. When his wife, Evelyn, was diagnosed with the disease in 1970, information about Alzheimer’s was limited. With drive and determination, Mr. Stone took a disease that was cloaked in silence and helped to create a global conversation.

Today, the Association reaches millions of people affected by Alzheimer's and all other dementia. They are the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research.

The Give Back Team is built on giving back. After each closing, we give a charitable donation to the charity of our client’s choice and Alzheimer's Association is one of those we recently donated to.

"The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support."
