The Marjorie B. Bailey Family FundThe Marjorie B. Bailey Family Fund was created to honor the memory of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother who touched so many lives with her love and caring. The fund is dedicated to the development of public policy that addresses the needs of individuals with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. We anticipate that our efforts will ensure that research, policy and practice converge in powerful ways to prevent the spread of this disease from generation to generation. Further, policy initiatives create the potential for communities to sustain networks of support for individuals and their families living with Alzheimer's. It is essential that we build our collective knowledge and systems of care to ensure that people with Alzheimer's live with dignity and care throughout their lives. Please join us in supporting setting a public policy context that brings hope and transforms the lives of people living with Alzheimer's. Donate now to the Marjorie B. Bailey Family Fund  Marjorie B.

The Claudia Cohen Memorial Fund
Claudia Cohen, a vital member and instrumental supporter of the Alzheimer's Association, passed away June 15, 2007 after losing her battle to cancer. Claudia was nationally known for her savvy and edgy journalistic approach in her gossip columns, “I, Claudia” and in The New York Post's Page Six. She also appeared regularly on TV talk shows “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” and later on “Live with Regis and Kelly.”
Claudia was also known for her 12 years of dedication to the New York Rita Hayworth Gala Steering Committee, giving unselfishly of her inestimable talent, enthusiasm, intelligence and drive. For Claudia, the Alzheimer's Association was not just a cause – it was her cause. And while she will be sorely missed, her efforts and influence will continue to be felt by those the Association strives to serve. Please help to continue this mission and Claudia's legacy by making a gift in her memory.
