By North Forty News Staff | NorthFortyNews.com
Northern Colorado residents can hit the pickleball court for a cause this September as the Forget-Me-Not Open brings players, families and local businesses together to support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
Home Instead of Northern Colorado will host the fundraising pickleball tournament Sunday, September 13, from noon to 4 p.m. at The Picklr Loveland, 3137 N. Garfield Ave.
The event benefits the Larimer and Weld Counties Walk to End Alzheimer’s, with proceeds supporting the Alzheimer’s Association and its programs, caregiver resources, education and research.
Play for a Purpose
Organizers created the Forget-Me-Not Open as a community event where experienced pickleball players and newcomers can enjoy an afternoon on the courts while supporting Northern Colorado families affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Nearly 91,000 Coloradans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to information provided by organizers. Many more family members and friends provide care and support.
“Alzheimer’s touches so many families in our community, and we wanted to create an event that brings people together in a fun and meaningful way,” said Ricky Anderson, co-owner of Home Instead of Northern Colorado. “The Forget-Me-Not Open is about more than pickleball. It’s about remembering the people affected by this disease, supporting the families and caregivers walking alongside them, and helping create a future without Alzheimer’s.”
