September is World Alzheimer’s Month

Join the Alzheimer’s Association,® Greater Illinois Chapter in recognizing World Alzheimer’s Month. For the second year, the Alzheimer’s Association asks those who believe in the fight to end Alzheimer’s to embrace the cause and grow awareness of this epidemic throughout September.
On Alzheimer’s Action Day (Sept. 21), Alzheimer’s Disease International, the worldwide federation of Alzheimer’s organizations, will release a global report, and this year’s address will focus on the stigma associated with dementia and its effects. You can tell people how passionately you feel about the cause on Alzheimer’s Action Day by donning clothes and accessories of a certain hue as part of the campaign, “Go Purple to End Alzheimer’s.” You can also turn Facebook and Twitter purple by making your profile picture our End Alz icon.
Finally, make sure to tune into “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Sept. 17 through Sept. 21. Celebrity contestants will spend the week testing their knowledge to win funds for the Alzheimer’s Association.
