Urgent action is needed! 🚨Congress is deciding which bills to pass before the end of the year. Call your members and ask them to include the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act in the year-end package. bit.ly/4njUqaY

Thanks to all the volunteers and people who came out to Big Canoe on Halloween weekend for the Paint Big Canoe Purple event! The event combined education and awareness, with a Bocce tournament and golf tourney...then it was topped off by a concert by the legendary band, Mother's Finest. Paint Big Canoe Purple was the idea of passionate advocate and volunteer, Sterling Kenyon, who lost his wife, Amanda, to younger onset Alzheimer's. Sterling put together a passionate team who worked tirelessly to make a fantastic event with all proceeds benefitting the Alzheimer's Association. And Paint Big Canoe Purple raised more than $60,000! Thank you to everyone involved in making the event such a success and for supporting the vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

“Boo Alzheimer’s! Spooky yard. Serious cause.” 👻 That’s the motto behind Abbie Giompoletti’s front yard, where a Halloween tradition is making real impact for families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Each October, Abbie transforms her yard with creative skeleton scenes, switching them up all month long. It’s become a neighborhood staple.

This year, Abbie saw a chance to turn the display into something bigger. Her dad is living with Alzheimer’s, and her mom is his full-time caregiver. Abbie said that underneath “all the ghosts, goblins, pumpkins, and questionable decorating decisions, there’s a serious cause close to our hearts.”

So, she made her yard a Do What You Love to End ALZ fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association, adding signs with a QR code so visitors can give if the spooky scenes put a little spirit in their step.

Since the end of September, Abbie and her family have raised $43K (and counting), and they can’t wait to see the final total today!

Ready to follow Abbie’s lead? Your holiday lights, decorations or themed yard could do more than light up the street. Turn what you love into a fundraiser to end Alzheimer’s. Get started at alz.org/dowhatyoulove.

Thank you to Abbie, her family and their community for turning a beloved tradition into real progress toward a world without Alzheimer’s.
