LONGEST DAY PARTY IS JUNE 21—COME, ENJOY, DONATE!
Our June 21 fundraiser to support the Alzheimer’s Association’s research and free local services will feature bridge games with extra MP’s, a silent auction, raffle, and homemade goodies! Bidding on great auction items and raffle ticket sales begin June 7!
Most of us know someone who has cared for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. To help those affected, the Alzheimer’s Association offers many free services in our area. These services directly depend on monies raised in Indiana by events such as Longest Day.
Please help support Alzheimer’s research and free services in our community by donating toward our $15,000 goal in 2023. You can give by bringing or mailing a check (made out to the Alzheimer’s Association) to the FWDBC or donating on our fundraising page below. Thank you!
