Unlock Dementia Research
"The first person to survive dementia is out there. Unlocking dementia research will make it possible."
– Kaleta Strain, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan
“Dementia research represents a significant piece of brain health. When the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation made the decision on their brain health focus area, the Alzheimer Society’s Board of Directors instantly sprang into action to align our efforts for transformational progress. We are thrilled to put our Unlock Dementia Research campaign dollars to work immediately.”
–Kaleta Strain, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan
The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan Board of Directors is proud to announce a $1.2 million investment into dementia research, through the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation’s Solutions Program, in partnership with Brain Canada.
This was made possible by the remarkable generosity of our community, who have helped us reach our $4 million fundraising goal for our Unlock Dementia Research campaign!
