Matching Gift Campaign
Getting a day off to take a break to rest and relax is a common luxury for many people. For families who are living with dementia there is no day off from dementia. But with the help from their community, families living with dementia can get a much needed break.

On Friday, September 20th, The Alzheimer Society of Windsor and Essex County (ASWE) announced the exciting results of their Matching Gift Campaign at the World Alzheimer's Day Breakfast. The sold-out event took place on Friday, September 20, 2024 at Willistead Manor.
The 2024 Caregiver Rx Matching Gift Campaign raised an incredible $75,000 through community donations, the funds were then matched by campaign sponsor Jim Scott and Ground Effects Ltd for a grand total of $150,000 raised for ASWE. These funds will go a long way to help deliver programs, services, support and respite to caregivers of persons living with dementia in Windsor and Essex County.
