Alzheimer Society Launch 'Dining for Dementia' to Mark Alzheimer Awareness Month
/To recognize Alzheimer Awareness Month during January, the Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland and Haliburton have launched a ‘Dining for Dementia’ fundraiser, which also helps local businesses.
Inspired by the Alzheimer Society of Durham's campaign, this initiative brings diners to local restaurants. During that time, they can contribute to the local Alzheimer Society and support restaurants during a slower time following the holiday rush.
A portion of each meal at participating restaurants will be donated to support counselling services, education, and recreational programs for caregivers and those living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
The following restaurants are currently participating in this initiative:
Peterborough:
Hanoi House
Allen Gourmet Coffee & Eatery
La Mesita Mexican Restaurante
Bobo Tea
Brickhouse Craft Burger
The Favourite Greek
Cobourg:
The Pink Café
Campbellford:
Riverview Family Restaurant
