Why Tackle Alzheimer’s?

Thanks to supporters like you, BvB Dallas has raised over $6.1 million for Alzheimer’s research and care right here in North Texas. But we're not done yet. Today, over 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s—a figure that's set to cost the nation a jaw-dropping $231 billion in 2024 alone. Your donation to BvB Dallas goes directly to those impacted by Alzheimer’s and fuels the fight for a cure. Let’s tackle this together!
