The third annual Advocate of the Year dinner for Alzheimer’s Arkansas Programs and Services will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at the Metroplex Team Summit.
At this special event, the group will raise money for education and support of in-state services, with Alzheimer’s Arkansas main focus on lightening the load for those trusted with the care of loved ones who are affected by the disease.
As of 2013, there were an estimated 76,496 Arkansans with Alzheimer’s or related dementias. This year’s dinner will honor Sharon Heflin, Melissa Longing and Jana Wineland as advocates who have gone above and beyond to give to the mission of Alzheimer’s Arkansas and help bring comfort to so many.
Tickets and tables are still available to the Advocate of the Year dinner. Visit the Alzheimer’s Arkansas website for more information.
