"It warms my heart to see the Napa Valley community show up for a cause that means so much to me and so many others...we are making a tangible difference in the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.” 💜 🍷 On Saturday, wine industry tastemaker Kerrin Laz hosted the seventh annual Winter Wine & Food Fête, benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association. The event, which featured a VIP lunch and walk-around wine tasting, brought the total raised through Inspire Napa Valley to more than $9 million!

Actor and #ENDALZ Celebrity Champion Jon Huertas played a caregiver on the hit television show “This Is Us,” but he’s also experienced the impact of dementia on his own family. His message for caregivers is one of support and love. “I think it’s important to be able to rely on the people around who love you: lean on them, and communicate with them. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and take time for yourself.” Join Jon in honoring all family caregivers who inspire us each day with their unwavering dedication during #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth.

Big THANK YOU to our ALZ Champion @RepJudyChu for meeting with our advocates on Friday and supporting our FY26 legislative priorities, including the #AADAPTAct, FY26 Appropriations, and the #CreditforCaringAct! We hope to see you at our upcoming WTEAs in #LosAngeles/#SantaMonica!

Huge thanks to @UCLAHealth for being the presenting sponsor of Sunday’s @socalalzofficial San Fernando Valley #WalkToEndAlz at Pierce College. The Easton Center, @UCLANeurology, proudly joined the effort in support of this vital cause. Together, we’re making a difference! 💜

The FDA has cleared the first blood test for Alzheimer’s for use in primary care settings specifically to rule out the presence of amyloid, a hallmark of the disease. “This is another important step toward expanding access to Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic tools,” said our president and chief executive officer @joannepikedrph. The blood test is intended to help primary care physicians determine which patients do not require Alzheimer’s-related follow-up tests, such as PET scans or cerebrospinal fluid analysis. This can significantly improve the diagnostic process by preventing unnecessary specialized testing for individuals whose cognitive issues stem from non-Alzheimer’s causes. The Association is committed to ensuring blood tests are used appropriately and effectively across all care settings. Read our full statement: bit.ly/4oh3Tiu.
