Alceon became the latest Teal Member of The Dementia Momentum® through a generous donation of $5,000 in May 2016.
Alceon’s donation follows the attendance of Founder and Managing Director, Trevor Loewensohn, at the corporate leader luncheon hosted by Genworth to support The Dementia Momentum® on 29 March 2016.
Spokesman for The Dementia Momentum® and Chairman of Genworth, Richard Grellman AM, addressed the attendees of this event and called on the corporate world to accept the challenge of increasing research funding into dementia and, specifically, Alzheimer’s disease.
CHeBA Co-Director Professor Henry Brodaty also spoke at the event.
“Alceon is proud to respond to Richard Grellman’s call for Australian corporates to fund CHeBA’s research and drive a brighter future for all Australians,” said Mr Loewensohn.
Richard Grellman said Alceon’s response was encouraging.
“It is inspiring to see the incredible generosity from not just the big corporations, but also smaller corporate groups in Sydney like Alceon supporting The Dementia Momentum®,” said Mr Grellman.
“Every donation is critical in helping CHeBA achieve the goal of raising $10 million over five years for their large-scale ‘big data’ research,” he said.
