The Alzheimer's Association - Greater Kentucky and Southern Indiana Chapter
The Alzheimer’s Association’s Greater Kentucky and Southern Indiana Chapter recognized gifts totaling $20,000 on Monday at the Best Friends Day Center in Lexington.
Joyce Fister Daley, whose mother, Helen Fister, attended Lexington’s Best Friends Day Center, will presented the gift in memory of her mother who died of... Alzheimer’s disease. Fister Daley organized the “Helen Fister Memorial Challenge,” a fundraising campaign for which she gave $10,000 of her own money and then challenged other donors to match her contribution.
The gift will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association’s Teaching and Learning Institute, and will also go toward training professional and family caregivers on how to share the Best Friends Approach.
