Monterey California, Friday, December 16, 2022— The Alzheimer’s Association Monterey County is pleased to announce it has received a $30,000 grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation. The Alzheimer’s Association provides education, support groups, information and referrals, and individualized care planning for Monterey County residents seeking help with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Our no-cost offerings are available in English and Spanish for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, their families, and caregivers. We help people and their loved ones answer the question, “What do we do now?” after receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.

 

Since its inception, the Monterey Peninsula Foundation has given millions of dollars to support local nonprofits and schools in Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito Counties. In 2022, the Foundation reached the charitable milestone of $200 million in lifetime giving. Community focused giving is the foundation’s primary strategy to strengthen the web of services, programs, and supports that contribute to healthy vibrant communities. Each year, the foundation uses the proceed from two celebrated golf tournaments: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA TOUR and the PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach, a PGA TOUR Champions event to power positive community change.  For more information, visit https://www.montereypeninsulafoundation.org/
