What will take place at each event site?

Each local event will include a ten-minute silent stand, distribution of educational materials about Alzheimer’s Disease, caregiving and community resources, and other presentations or activities designed to build awareness about this devastating disease. Participants will be asked to hold up signs with the names of people — those they know personally or others in their community — who had or have Alzheimer’s Disease. Local organizations may customize their events with additional components.
