Dine with a Purpose: Join the Fight Against Alzheimer’s in January 2025!

As January approaches, the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region is gearing up for its much-anticipated "Dining For Dementia" event, which takes place throughout the month. This fantastic initiative coincides with Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and aims to rally support for the over 12,000 residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in our community.

How You Can Help:

Participating is a breeze! During January, simply visit any of the participating restaurants. A portion of your dining bill will directly contribute to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region’s fundraising efforts. While you're enjoying your meal, help us spread the word by sharing your experience on social media and tagging us with the hashtag #DiningforDementia. Every post helps raise awareness!

The Impact of Your Contribution:

Your participation does more than just fill a restaurant seat. The funds collected will be used to provide essential services like counselling and support groups for individuals living with dementia and their loved ones. Additionally, it allows for social recreation programs that foster connection and joy among those affected. Importantly, the campaign also funds educational initiatives aimed at equipping healthcare professionals, local businesses, and the broader community with the knowledge needed to create a more dementia-friendly environment.
