Today is DAF Day!

The Alzheimer Society of Toronto is proud to participate in this national day celebrating the generosity of Canadians who use donor-advised funds (DAFs) to support the causes they care about.

A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows donors to contribute funds, receive a tax receipt, and recommend grants to charities over time.

Have a DAF? Consider recommending a grant to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto today.

Your support helps people living with dementia and their care partners access vital programs, services, information, and support. Learn more about the impact our donors have https://ow.ly/mmzW50ZTkxw

Thank you to all the donors, advisors, and DAF providers helping strengthen communities through strategic charitable giving.

On September 22, Dave and Kim joined us at Golf2Remember as tournament ambassadors, graciously sharing their story of dementia. An avid golfer himself, Dave also enjoyed a day out on the course with his son, offering kindness and joy to others he met along the way.

Dave and Kim - we are profoundly grateful for your openness, generosity, and commitment as client ambassadors. Thank you for sharing your story, and welcoming our community into your experience.

Are you struggling to understand what a person living with dementia is trying to say?

While communication may look a little different, there are steps you can take to still meaningfully engage with someone living with dementia. Try out the following tips to help you connect:
🔎Put on your detective hat to find the meaning behind the words.
🤝Not all communication is verbal - pay attention to body language, eye contact, and touch as cues in communication.
🌎Connect, don't correct. Enter their world instead of trying to bring them into yours.
⏳Be in the moment - try out the yes, and technique.
🎉Be silly! Embrace the fun!

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to interact. It's all about creating meaningful moments together. Share this video with a friend to help them connect with a person living with dementia.

We have a full episode of the DementiaNation podcast about communicating and connecting with a person living with dementia. Listen here 🔊 https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-8hj3x-1863a12

On September 22, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto and the Alzheimer Society of York Region brought Golf2Remember back after a six-year hiatus - and what a wonderful day it was!

Hosted at King's Riding Golf Club, Golf2Remember marked a day of golf, community, and fun, all in support of those impacted by dementia in York Region and Toronto. Thank you to the team King's Riding Golf Club for welcoming our community to your beautiful course and for your ongoing support throughout Golf2Remember.

Our sincere thanks to all of those who joined us as golfers, and those who we welcomed at the reception. It is because of the generosity of people like you that we are able to offer programs and services to people living with dementia and their care partners when they need it most. Thank you.

A dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming. But knowing earlier can make a real difference.

With an earlier and accurate diagnosis, people living with dementia can:
• Access treatment and support sooner
• Make informed decisions about future care
• Connect with community programs and education
• Reduce uncertainty for families and care partners

The Alzheimer Society of Toronto is here to provide support to people living with dementia and their care partners in our community. To learn more about what we do, what programs are available, or how to access support, visit https://alz.to/world-alzheimers-month/
