Description

2024 Fundraiser for the AFTD, hosted by Gary's FUB Team

Join us for an unforgettable evening at our 2024 Fundraiser for the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (theAFTD.org). Same great event; music, silent auction and raffle with some elevated experiences.

We are excited to announce that Dr. David Knopman will be joining us this evening to discuss FTD and the status of research for FTD and other dementias. Dr. Knopman is a clinical neurologist at Mayo Clinic/Rochester, involved in research in late-life cognitive disorders, such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

The Cause

The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life of people affected by frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and drive research to a cure. FTD is a rare brain disorder that causes impairment in personality, language, behavior and/or movement. It is a progressive disease with onset occurring most often in the 40’s – 60’s and thus impacts family and finances in a way that more common forms of dementia do not. AFTD is dedicated to funding research for development of effective treatments as well as to developing resources and education programs for professionals and families.

We hope you can join us! Together, we can #endFTD !

Included with admission:

  • Guest speaker Dr. David Knopman lead researcher on dementia from the Mayo Clinic
  • Heartfelt testimony from a local FTD caregiver/family member
  • Local dementia-related service provider information tables 
  • Raffle and silent auction
  • Taco Bar Buffet

Gary's FUB Team

Our beloved husband and father, Gary Anderson, was diagnosed with FTD at the age of 60 in 2016. In order to give the disease a name and have a little fun, we would call any mishaps or frustrations FUB (f*cked up brain). As a family we decided to blow the lid off this thing to help raise awareness of a disease that no one really knows about. We started our fundraising event in 2018 and created a 501c3 non profit, Gary's FUB Team, so that we could accept donations and hold raffles and silent auction for our cause. Gary lost his battle with FTD in 2019, but his family and friends continue the fight for research, awareness and supporting those impacted by FTD.
 

Gary's FUB Team Mission: Provide education and awareness to the community about the disease, Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), support caregivers and those living with the disease and conduct fundraising to support the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD).
