Bringing Light to
Alzheimer's
Hilarity for Charity (HFC) is a national non-profit on a mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer's disease, activate the next generation of Alzheimer's advocates, and be a leader in brain health research and education.
The Issue
Let’s face it—bringing up Alzheimer’s doesn’t usually make you the life of the party. Most people don’t want to think about dementia until they have to.
But here’s the deal: Research suggests that 4 of 10 cases of dementia may be preventable by adopting specific habits. And when we say change, we’re not talking Ironman training or subsisting on raw wheatgrass. We’re talking healthy lifestyle adjustments like better sleep, breathing exercises and delicious new recipes. And we’re right here to help. Already caring for someone with dementia? We’re here for you too. That’s why we’ve packed this site with support, because while there isn’t a cure (yet!), there is care.
Help For Caregivers
HFC doesn’t technically stand for Help for Caregivers, but maybe it should. Family caregivers of people with dementia endure huge emotional, financial, and physical difficulties. So many of them put their careers, personal lives, finances - everything - on hold to take care of loved ones. HFC’s goal is to transform the caregiving experience for young people and families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, increasing their well-being and helping them thrive.
Who We Are
HFC is accelerating progress in Alzheimer’s care, prevention, and support all while bringing laughs and light to the Alzheimer’s space. Through its signature celebrity events, HFC also raises much-needed awareness about this disease.
Caregivers, buckle up! Join us for a little light and good company as you navigate the dementia journey.
