卑詩省阿茲海默症協會與新時代電視攜手合作舉辦的第四屆「關愛腦友記」電視電台籌款日，已於 2023 年 9 月 16 日，在新時代電視1台播出，為協會籌募經費及提高華人社區對腦退化的關注和認識。
在卑詩省，有超過 85,000 人患有腦退化，而在未來30年，腦退化患者的數目將會激增至 245,000 人。同時，華人社區對腦退化患者仍然有負面標籤，所以我們希望透過此節目提高大眾對腦退化的認識，一起齊心建立腦退化友善社區，讓患者和家人在社區感到被接納、認同，不會受到歧視，繼續過着正常的生活。
當日早上11時，首先在溫哥華中文電台 AM1470「大眾論壇」中，播放了一小時有關腦退化的特輯，節目亦邀請到黃耀明醫生為聽眾分享腦退化及健腦知識；晚上8時半在新時代電視一台舉行了「關愛腦友記」電視籌款夜。
當晚節目非常豐富，邀請了兩位專科醫生介紹腦退化的最新發展，並有患者及家屬分享經驗，還有介紹卑詩省阿茲海默症協會的資訊及服務，例如支援服務及教育項目等等。節目在全國播放並進行電視籌款。
協會特別感謝無名氏善長的慷慨支持，首7萬元的捐款得到一對一的配對，令善款帶來雙倍的效果。

敬請留意下一屆「關愛腦友記」電視電台籌款日！
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. partnered with Fairchild Television to co-produce the 4th annual Telethon for Alzheimer’s on Saturday, September 16, 2023, This aiming to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and increase awareness and understanding of dementia within the Chinese community.
In B.C., there are over 85,000 people living with dementia. In the next 30 years, the number of people living with the disease will increase dramatically to more than 245,000 people. Meanwhile, stigma associated with dementia still exists in the Chinese community. Through this program we hoped to raise awareness to help build a dementia-friendly community, where people living with the disease and their families are welcomed, supported and included, enabling them to maintain the best quality of life possible.
On September 16 at 11 a.m. PT, Dr. Roger Wong shared his knowledge about dementia and brain health tips during “Public Forum” on Fairchild Radio AM1470. The Telethon for Alzheimer’s then broadcast at 8:30 p.m. PT on Fairchild TV (FTV1). The program featured interviews with doctors and Alzheimer Society of B.C. staff, and stories of people living with dementia and their caregivers. The program was broadcast nationwide.
We would like to extend our gratitude to “Friends of the Society” – group of anonymous donors for their generous support – the first $70,000 in donations was matched one-to-one, doubling the impact of the donations.
For other inquiries or to donate by phone, please call 604-742-4923.
Stay tuned for the next Telethon for Alzheimer’s!
