Hilarity for Charity, presented by GIV Mobile, presents a variety show in Hollywood tomorrow to raise money for the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease. Actors Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller created Hilarity for Charity after being actively involved in the Alzheimer’s community, in order to create awareness about the disease among the younger generation.
Part of the National Alzheimer’s Association, money raised from this event will be directed towards assisting families struggling with caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease and assist with funding support groups and research for a cure.
Lauren Miller became involved in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease after her Mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease at age 55. She learned the challenges of caregiving and communicating how this disease impacts families.
Thursday’s event will feature performances and appearances by Garfunkel & Oates, Sadie & The Blue Eyed Devils, Seth Rogen, Bo Burnham, John Mulaney and more.
Hilarity for Charity tickets may be purchased by buying a reserved table or an individual party crasher ticket at HilarityforCharity.com. You also may make a donation to purchase a Hilarity for Charity Double Bracelet for $38.
Seniors who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease will also need to plan ahead for long-term care needs and understand that Medicare does not pay for long-term care. The Alzheimer’s Association programs are helpful in assisting families to plan for senior care needs. You can learn about nursing home daily costs nationwide on Caregiverlist. As more caregivers are needed in the industry, remember that many times only companion caregivers are needed for those with memory loss and this can be fulfilling work for anyone with a caring personality. Caregiverlist’s Career Center connects caregivers with part-time and full-time senior caregiver jobs in their area (all with professional senior care companies).
Caregiver training also assists with learning caregiver skills in order to deliver quality care to seniors and you may also take an online caregiver training course.
And in the meantime, cheers to Hilarity for Charity to adding a laugh to the complexities of dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease.
