North Texas Giving Day 2021: AWARE Dallas
Editor’s Note: As part of our coverage of North Texas Giving Day this year, we’ve invited nonprofits to pitch themselves to our readers.
AWARE has remained true to its mission since its founding. AWARE remains dedicated to fighting Alzheimer’s disease by providing funding and support to programs, projects, and research provided by nonprofit organizations that actively help individuals affected by Alzheimer’s in Dallas and the greater North Texas area.
Founder Evelyn Ponder and first-elected president Cyndy Hudgins led a small group of passionate and civic-minded Dallas women to create AWARE in 1989. Since that time AWARE has raised and donated nearly $14,000,000 in support of its mission.
Today, men and women of all ages have joined our fight.
