ALE FOR ALZ, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Our Mission Our mission is to educate people of all ages about Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias and inspire them to get involved through community events, social advocacy and storytelling. Rick has always been extremely generous and instilled the importance of giving back in his daughters from a young age. In 2015, when Alissa’s birthday fell on the same day as Father’s Day, she decided to host a pub crawl to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Awareness to honor her dad’s legacy. As she put together the initial ALE for ALZ event, she was shocked to discover how common stories like hers were and yet how low the awareness was of the disease. With the help of some amazing friends and family, what started as a small celebration has evolved into an official non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Interested in helping the cause? Paws for a Cause is our fall fundraiser on October 23rd, helping ALE for ALZ raise money for the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s (held on November 5th). This Sunday Fun-day event will be held at the Dubliner Irish Pub from 3-6pm. Sign up your pooch for our doggy costume contest, grab a beer, enjoy exclusive event specials, and enter our raffle to win incredible prizes from Kendra Scott, Downtown Dogs, and more!
