Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The ADDA serves to host fundraising events for Alzheimer's and dementia related organizations, raise awareness on proper care and treatment for affected individuals, and discuss current research and medical practices in the field of Alzheimer's and dementia. As part of our mission, we aim to educate students on preventive measures to mitigate the risk of dementia, alongside providing support to individuals whose lives have been touched by this condition. By doing so, we will provide an outlet for those who are passionate about the disorder and allow an educational and philanthropic environment for those to be more involved in the Alzheimer's and dementia community at UIUC.
