Plans are once again brewing at
The Alzheimer Society of Huron
County as they prepare for their
13th annual Coffee Break
fundraiser. The official date is
Thursday, Sept. 18 but any day in
September is just fine to host a
Coffee Break event.
The Society is beginning its quest
for enthusiastic and creative people
to host coffee breaks all throughout
Huron County. Simply invite
friends, neighbours, colleagues and
clients to “take a break” and make a
donation to the Alzheimer Society
of Huron County. Home hosts last
year, or those who held a break at
their place of employment will
hopefully support the effort this
year. Last year Coffee Breaks were
held throughout Huron County.
Hosts welcomed friends and
colleagues and raised more than
$15,000.
Every new event means new
people are being reached with the
Alzheimer message.
Ninety per cent of of money
raised during Coffee Break stays in
Huron County to help the Alzheimer
Society provide education and
support for persons with
Alzheimer’s disease, their families
and caregivers. The remaining 10
per cent is designated for research.
For more information on how to
host a Coffee Break contact Theresa
Wilson at the Alzheimer Society of
Huron County at 519-482-1482 or
1-800-561-5012.
