On April 4th, the Alzheimer’s Association Young Champions are putting on our sixth annual bean bag tournament called ALZ Bean Bagz for Brainz to raise awareness and funds to help end Alzheimer’s - we would love your support! In the first five years of this tournament, we have raised over $100,000, with last year’s event bringing in $18,000. With your help, this year we can make the event just as successful!

Alzheimer’s disease Facts

Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the world.  Of the top 10 causes of death, it’s the only one without a cure, treatment or prevention.  It currently affects 5.8 million Americans (100,000 in Minnesota alone) and by 2050, an estimated 14 million Americans will be living with the disease.  If we do not go after this disease, it will most certainly be coming after us. 

How You Can Help

We are looking for donations for our Punch Wall and would greatly appreciate your generosity. Please submit your donations by Friday, March 27th.  Due to the nature of the Punch Wall, donations in the form of gift cards, vouchers and certificates would be greatly appreciated.
