Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

The Bergelectric Charitable Foundation made a $25,000 donation to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America in support of the foundation’s mission to provide care, education, and resources to those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder, the most common type of dementia, that slowly destroys memory, thinking, and reasoning skills, eventually making it difficult to perform daily activities. The buildup of abnormal amyloid and tau proteins causes Alzheimer’s, which leads to nerve cell damage and death, starting with memory areas of the brain and then spreading on. It is the most common form of dementia and one of the fastest-growing health challenges in the United States. Today, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s with that number projected to increase in the coming decades.

The impact of Alzheimer’s extends far beyond those diagnosed. Nearly every family is touched by the disease in some way: as caregivers, loved ones, friends, or advocates. Families often face many difficult emotional, physical and financial challenges as they navigate the new reality of caregiving and long-term care.

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America plays a vital role in addressing the needs of those affected by offering free support services, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives nationwide. AFA is dedicated to improving quality of life for patients, caregivers and families while advancing public understanding of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

At The Bergelectric Charitable Foundation, we believe in standing behind organizations that create meaningful impact and compassionate care. This donation reflects our commitment to supporting families and communities affected by Alzheimer’s disease and helping ensure that no one has to face this journey alone.

Together, through awareness, education, and generosity, we can help build a future of greater support and hope for those impacted by Alzheimer’s.
