Local community members participated in the Alzheimer’s Association East Central Iowa Chapter’s VOICE the VISION Rally, held at KGAN- CBS2 studios in Cedar Rapids and at Crossroads Center in Waterloo on Tuesday, January 29th. The event is approaching the $50,000 goal, and donations are still being accepted. If you would like to make a contribution, please call 1-877-ALZ-CURE or visit www.alz.org/eci. Money raised from the event will fund Alzheimer research, education, care and support.
“We are so pleased and grateful about the addition of the ½ hour live show produced by KGAN- CBS 2 which helped kick off the event,” said Kelly Hauer, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association East Central Iowa Chapter. “It allowed us to really educate viewers about the disease and why we need to be concerned. The baby boomers are now coming into the age of greatest risk. We must address this public health issue that threatens us all. With funds raised at this year’s event, the Alzheimer’s Association will provide much needed education and support for people touched by the disease and thus serve to advance research to move us closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s.”
The Alzheimer’s Association’s VOICE the VISION Rally is hosted by KGAN-CBS2 with Iowa Hospice as the event’s major sponsor. Other sponsors include Crossroads Center, ImOn Communications, Iowa Electronics, Verizon Wireless, KDAT, WMT, and Courier Communications.
Thank you to all of our participants!
