CaringKind’s 2019 TackleALZ was a huge success! Congratulations to the Blondetourage and BruCrew for another amazing game day. Passion and the sense of community were apparent on the field of Riverbank State Park on Saturday, May 18th. Team Blondetourage took the game day win but the real win came from both teams raising over $100,000 each for a total of $212,000 raised!

On behalf of the entire CaringKind staff and the clients we serve, we would like to thank the team members, coaches, and supporters of this event. We could not continue to provide free programs and services to the Alzheimer’s and dementia community of New York City without you!

You still have time to support these two amazing teams by giving to:

CaringKind is proud to have this group of dedicated players and coaches as our community ambassadors.
