Walking to Remember | Garden Art Party | Glow for a Cure
Ales for Alzheimer’s | Care Baskets
On the First Saturday in November, the ACA parking lot is filled with balloons, clowns, music, food, and special moments. Gather friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and form a walk team. Your team can walk in honor or memory of someone special to you. We are happy to share ideas on how to make this fun and successful! Contact us today or look for information as the date gets closer.
Held each year in May, this fun event takes place at a fun venue in Birmingham. It includes both live and silent auctions, which historically feature hundreds of items and something for everyone! In addition to the items donated to the auction this event is also supported by personal or corporate donations and by ticket sales. Call us today and ask how you can be a part of the fun.
This summer-time night Golf tournament is a real crowd-pleaser. This event, which supports our Junior Board’s Predoctoral Scholars Program in Alzheimer’s Research at UAB, includes 9 holes in the afternoon, a dinner break, and 9 holes with lighted balls and cart paths. The dinner includes live music, auction items, and a research update from UAB. Spectator tickets are also available.
This Junior Board event supports its research program at UAB. Each year we gather at a local brewery on a weekend afternoon and enjoy music, fun, and libations! An auction/raffle is also a part of this event. Your attendance, sponsorship, or donation of an auction item would be appreciated and supports young researchers right here in Alabama.
Create Your own Event

- a percentage of sales events at local businesses.
- Amazon smile purchases.
- Riverchase Women’s Club has a history of support in the form of art shows, tablescape events, and creative walk team activities.
To plan a personalized birthday or anniversary campaign with the ability to donate directly to our website please contact us.
Each Easter, Independence Day, and Christmas, ACA board members and volunteers hand deliver Care Baskets filled with food and household supplies. Our supporters sponsor the baskets through donations, but those making the deliveries have an opportunity to chat with the families on our programs and see firsthand both their needs as well as their compassion in caring for their loved one.
Create Fidget Blankets
Creating “Fidget Blankets” for people living with dementia is a popular activity at several local churches and senior centers. Many are made with plac mats others are made as a quilt. These colorful lap blankets are covered with unattachable key fobs, watches, jewelry, zippers, stuffed animals, etc. We share these blankets through our care basket program or will ship directly to the home of anyone requesting one. Families share positive stories of these blankets offering relief from boredom for their loved one. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us.
