The Alzheimer's Association 2025 Brilliance Gala campaign got off to a great start Thursday evening at the Spark of Brilliance Reception at the La Valle Coastal Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Attendees came together with a shared vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. They shared experiences, asked questions, and discussed what they could do to make that vision a reality. An evening highlight was the fireside chat with board member and leading dementia clinician and researcher Dr. Gregory Sahagian. Thank you to those who joined us. If you would like to learn more, please message us or visit alz.org/sandiego. And a special shout-out to this year's Brilliance Gala co-chairs Paula Lemkuil and John Foley.

Check out the October 22nd The San Diego Union-Tribune feature about The Frostys. According to their website, The Frostys story began with The Frosty Founders’ “Grandma Joyce” and her journey through Alzheimer’s disease as a musician and philanthropist. Sharing her musical talents with local Seniors was one of the many ways she brought joy to others and made lasting connections within her community. Joyce passed from Alzheimer’s disease in 2022 and is greatly missed. Her daughter, Wendy, and granddaughters Sophia and Charlotte wanted to continue her beautiful tradition of sharing music with others. With that in mind, The Frostys were brought to life! Thank you to all The Frostys for the joy you bring, and for joining us at the Walk to End Alzheimer's! https://lnkd.in/gCrZ3_Zg

We have Spooktackular news! A generous, anonymous donor has pledged to match every gift to support the Alzheimer's Association San Diego/Imperial Chapter—up to $15,000—if we can raise the same amount by October 31st! That means your gift goes 2X as far to accelerate research, advocate for those affected, and provide vital care and support. Here are some hauntingly helpful reminders. 1) Your personal fundraising pages remain available until December 31st so you may continue to fundraise through the holiday season. 2) Your fundraising deadline for incentive prizes is mid-November. The matching donations from the anonymous donor through October 31st do not count towards the incentive prize. 3) Matching donations from your company processed before mid-November do count towards your incentive prize. Each step we take, each dollar we raise, will make an impact! Thank you for your support in the fight to #ENDALZ
