2020 Boca Brain Bowl

The 6th Annual Brain Bowl, Chaired by Ina Trueheart , Co-Chaired by Brandi Abrahams and Honorary Chair and Founder, Attorney Pamela Higer-Polani will take place on Friday, January 31, 2020, from 11:00 am – 1:30 pm at Boca West Country Club, to benefit the Louis & Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s Community Care. These local non-profit organizations are committed to helping families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or a related neurocognitive disorder.

This is the only event in South Florida where the three largest Alzheimer’s related nonprofits unite to raise funds and awareness in our local community.

This year our theme is “Caregiving Through the Ages” and we will be hosting a fashion show to honor those family caregivers who sacrifice so much to ensure the health and well-being of their loved ones with dementia. Additionally, we will be having caregivers share their inspiring and heartwarming stories of sacrifice and love.

They are advocates for kids who are caregivers, their mission is to bring 'a little bit of happiness' to the lives of caregiving youth. Millions of kids are affected by Alzheimer’s disease in many ways.
