The Aros family, known for their rodeoing skills, has embarked on a mission to raise awareness about dementia following a tragic incident within their family.
Dally for Dementia
A Charity Roping Event
George Aros, a prominent figure in the rodeo community, has organized 'Dally for Dementia,' a charity roping event held at the Aros Arena. This event aims to support dementia care by raising funds for the Pima Council on Aging.
De-Stigmatizing Dementia
Dementia Capable Southern Arizona is a key player in this cause, working tirelessly to de-stigmatize dementia and provide essential resources for both patients and caregivers. One of their initiatives includes the establishment of Memory Cafés, which serve as socialization spaces for individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
Memory Cafés: A Sense of Community
These Memory Cafés not only provide much-needed support but also foster a sense of community among those affected by dementia. By offering a safe and inclusive environment, they help bridge the gap between isolation and connection. Through their efforts, the Aros family and organizations like Dementia Capable Southern Arizona are making significant strides in enhancing the quality of life for individuals impacted by dementia.
