Overview

As January 2025 approaches, the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region invites you to participate in a heartwarming initiative as part of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Restaurants throughout the Durham Region are coming together to support the Dining for Dementia fundraising campaign. This initiative aims to raise vital funds for the more than 12,000 individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in our community.

How to Participate

Getting involved is a deliciously easy way to make a difference! Throughout January, simply dine at any restaurant participating in the campaign. A portion of your bill will be donated to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region—without it costing you any extra! As you enjoy your meal, don’t forget to share your experience on social media. Use the hashtag #DiningforDementia to help spread awareness!

The Impact of Your Contribution

Your participation means more than just a meal; it will directly fund essential services such as counseling, support groups, and social recreation programs for those affected by dementia and their families. Moreover, the funds will be vital for providing education and training to healthcare professionals and local businesses, fostering a more dementia-friendly environment across the Durham Region.
