More information is available on the website here. Thank you for your support!

For just three days, GuelphToday and EloraFergusToday are pledging to support families affected by dementia by spearheading a fundraising event for the Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington. 

The Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington supports hundreds of people with dementia and their care partners with numerous programs across the region.

To help them in their mission, we are offering đź’›s for purchase through an online pop-up store.

Every đź’› represents a donation of $25, and there are limited đź’›s available.

We are matching all purchases with a cash donation to the Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington. But that's not all…

17 generous community partners have also pledged to match every purchase with a cash donation! 

That means that until May 3 at 12 p.m., every dollar spent on đź’›s in our pop-up store will be matched 18 times, with all proceeds directed to Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington.

Turn your $25 gift into a $475 gift by following these easy steps: 

  1. Log in to your EloraFergusToday+ account (or create your free account here) 
  2. Choose a đź’› in our pop-up store
  3. Enter your credit card details, and confirm your purchase 

EloraFergusToday and GuelphToday are proud to lead this effort to support the Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington. Your support helps to make an even bigger impact for people living with dementia.
