Our partners and supporters

Thank you!

The Alzheimer Society of Canada thanks our amazing partners and supporters who are helping us realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Through their generous support and expertise, the Alzheimer Society is able to work toward our many goals and initiatives, which include:

• Helping the best and brightest minds in dementia research spark their work from ideas to impact. These researchers are exploring radical new ways to advance our knowledge of dementia (including the search for new treatments and a cure) and improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, their families and caregivers.
• Launching public awareness and advocacy campaigns that counter stigma, foster inclusion and call for systemic change. Through these campaigns, people living with dementia, families and caregivers can share their voices and be heard in the national conversation on healthcare.
• Organizing and co-ordinating nationwide fundraisers that bolster our vital programs and services. These programs support the growing number of friends, neighbours and families across Canada who need our and help and support.

By working with those who share similar values and goals, together we can make more of a positive impact on the lives of people living in Canada who are facing Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Thanks to the help of our partners and supporters, they do not have to face dementia alone.
