PAYMENT: Please pay by check made payable to, “Bryan Beatty, FBO Alzheimer’s Association.” Net proceeds from fees and sponsorships (after costs) will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.

NOTE: “I am hosting this event because I have seen the effects of Alzheimer’s on many of the families I have worked with as a financial planner,” Beatty says. “In my experience, this is one of the toughest issues that we have to deal with, and I want to do something to make a difference.”

Consider these statistics:

5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease.
One in eight older Americans has Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.
More than 15 million Americans provide unpaid care valued at $210 billion for persons with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Payments for care are estimated to be $200 billion in the United States last year.

Of course, golf outings are also great ways to make friends and build business relationships.

Here’s to doing well by doing good—on and off the course!
