Leave a Legacy
A gift in your Will or a planned gift can help ensure that people living with dementia — and the families who care for them — continue to receive compassionate support for generations to come. Your legacy can provide hope, care, and connection for future generations of families facing dementia.
Dementia is one of the fastest-growing health challenges facing our community. By 2030, nearly one million Canadians will be living with dementia, and over the next 30 years, the number of people impacted is expected to increase by more than 185%.
By leaving a gift to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto, you can help ensure that future generations have access to support, counselling, education, and community programs when they need it most.
