🎉 The Final Fiesta is officially underway, and we loved kicking things off at The Well Abilene. As we celebrate the 10th and final year of Abilene Gives, we’re grateful to stand with so many nonprofits serving this community.

For us, this fiesta is all about fueling care, support, and research for families facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 5th and help make this final fiesta one filled with hope. 💜

Hey friends 💜
February is here, and so are our support groups. If this season feels heavy or you just need to be around people who get it, we’d love to have you join us.
We’ve got several groups meeting throughout the month — all the details are in the graphic. If you’re not sure which one fits or just want to talk it through, Lauren’s always happy to help:
📞 325‑672‑2907 | 📧 lcstephans@alz.org
And remember — support is available anytime. You can also reach the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 1‑800‑272‑3900 for information, guidance, or just someone to talk to.
Please share this with anyone who could use a little extra support right now. You’re never alone — we’re here with you. 💜

🌟 We’re so close! 🌟
As of today, our Walk to End Alzheimer’s has officially reached 99% of our goal — and we couldn’t be more grateful. An additional $106 deposit was added today and will be reflected in our total tomorrow, bringing us right to the finish line.

To our community, sponsors, teams, and every participant who showed up with heart, passion, and purpose this year: thank you. Your dedication is creating real, positive change right here at home. We are incredibly proud and deeply overjoyed to have such unwavering love and support surrounding this mission.

💜 We’re just $1,702 away from crossing the goal line — and we have until December 31st to make it happen.
If you’re able, please consider making a year-end gift or sharing our page to help us finish strong.
