New Yorkers Join Forces Against Alzheimer's
CaringKind is excited to host the 8th Annual Caring to Remember cocktail benefit, a special occasion aimed at strengthening community connections while raising crucial funds for Alzheimer's care and research. This event will gather influential leaders from diverse sectors across New York, with a particular focus on real estate and construction.
Celebrating Champions in Alzheimer’s Advocacy
This year’s event honors extraordinary individuals who have significantly impacted the community, including Frances Graham, Linda Foggie, and Joseph Szabo. These remarkable honorees have played vital roles in driving initiatives that enhance the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s. Their advocacy brings much-needed attention to the often-overlooked stories within caregiving.

This year, the goal is to raise $550,000, aiming to empower CaringKind’s essential caregiving programs. The funds will bolster the organization’s important partnerships, such as with the Blue Zones Project, which promotes community health to help reduce Alzheimer's risk among residents.
Building Awareness Through Community Engagement
In support of raising awareness, famous landmarks across New York City will glow in purple, representing solidarity with those affected and the ongoing fight against Alzheimer’s. This vibrant tribute will lead up to World Alzheimer's Day, underscoring the urgent need for increased awareness in our communities.
Advancing Research and Advocacy Efforts
The funds collected will not only assist with local initiatives but will also support national research and advocacy efforts aimed at enhancing care and support systems for individuals living with Alzheimer’s.
