“It’s wonderful to see some of the Phoenix area’s most well-known and world renowned sites helping to raise Alzheimer’s awareness and show support for the millions of Americans impacted by the disease,” Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., AFA’s President & CEO, shared in a press release.
This is the 10th year of AFA’s Light the World in Teal campaign.
More than 6.7 million Americans, including 150,000 Arizonans, are currently living with Alzheimer’s. The number of people with Alzheimer’s is projected to more than double by 2060, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
