On Tuesday, December 16, South Central and Woodlawn High Schools are joining together to help combat an illness that has or will probably affect someone we know. Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Alzheimer’s is the only disease with no cure, no treatments to stop, delay or prevent the disease, and no survivors. But this will change. The first survivor is out there.
During the basketball game at South Central High School, the two schools will be competing against each other but also helping to find that survivor. There will be shirts for sale, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, half-court shots, bake sale, drink sales, and pizza sales. If you would like to donate a silent auction item or just make a monetary donation, please contact Mrs. Lynn Riehm at South Central High School.
Let’s do our part to help find that survivor. All the money raised at the purple game on December 16 will help fund research to find a cure, provide support to all affected, and promote brain health. We may be rivals on the court, but we’re allies for a cure!
