This week, we're heading to Denver!

We're excited to share that leaders from the I'm Still Here Foundation will be presenting at the 2026 Grantmakers in Aging (GIA) Conference, taking place October 20–23!

Our Founder, Dr. John Zeisel, Executive Director Sharon Johnson, and Board Member John Reinhart will lead an important conversation:

“The Virtuous Cycle: How Research, Philanthropy, and Inclusion Are Redefining Dementia Innovation.”

Together, they'll explore how research, philanthropy, and community partnerships can create meaningful opportunities for people living with dementia to remain engaged, connected, and included.

💜 At the heart of this conversation is a message we believe in deeply: A dementia diagnosis does not mean the end of living a meaningful, fulfilling life.

We're proud to bring our Hope in Action philosophy to a national audience and connect with others who share our vision for changing the way we think about dementia.

📍 Denver, Colorado
📅 October 20–23, 2026

HOPE IN ACTION: Meet Edwina Condry!

Sometimes, all it takes is one meaningful connection to make an extraordinary difference. 💛

At the I’m Still Here Foundation, we believe that every person living with dementia has interests, passions, and so much more to share. Our Program Liaison, Edwina Condry, brings that belief to life every day.

From mentoring our Innovation Grant recipients across the country to creating meaningful moments of connection with people living with dementia, Edwina has a special way of seeing the person beyond the diagnosis.

✨ In our newest Hope in Action spotlight, Edwina shares a touching story about how something as simple as a bird outside a window opened the door to an incredible conversation.

Her story is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do and the power of curiosity, compassion, and connection.

We’re so grateful to have Edwina as part of our team, helping turn research into real-world impact! 💛

What a wonderful afternoon at Meet Me at the Movies! 🎬🍿💛

On September 30, the I’m Still Here Foundation team had the pleasure of bringing this beloved legacy program to the Lexington Community Center.

The afternoon was filled with music, laughter, conversation, and connection as participants watched familiar movie clips, sang along to favorite songs, guessed what might be coming next, and shared memories and stories together.

At the heart of Meet Me at the Movies is something we believe deeply: people living with dementia should continue to have opportunities to participate in the things they enjoy, connect with others, and be an active part of their communities.

Seeing the smiles throughout the room—and hearing from guests as they left just how much they enjoyed the afternoon—made the day incredibly special.

We are so grateful to the Lexington Community Center, everyone who joined us, and our wonderful team for helping bring this experience to life.

And this is just the beginning! We’ll be sharing more photos and special moments from the event throughout the week, and we’re excited about the opportunity to bring Meet Me at the Movies to even more communities. 💛

Hope in action. Connection in community.
