Imagine a world without dementia.
By including the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan in your Will, you help make that future possible. Your legacy gift will ensure that the care, support, and advocacy that people affected by dementia rely on will continue at no cost—and that vital research into the causes, treatment, and cures for dementia will move us closer to making this vision a reality.
 

Why Your Gift Matters

More than 20,000 people in Saskatchewan are currently living with dementia—a number expected to more than double in the next 30 years.

A gift in your Will is a powerful way to meet this growing need. Your gift can:

  • Fund research that leads to breakthroughs in treatment and prevention
  • Sustain essential support services for people living with dementia and their families
  • Empower education and advocacy to build more inclusive, dementia-friendly communities
