On November 9, 2023, CLEAR (Canadians for Leading Edge Alzheimer Research) hosted its annual Fall Reception at KPMG in Vancouver. The after-work social and networking event brought together business leaders, researchers, and donors to advance dementia research and announce a year-end matching gift partnership with the Hastings family. We attendees heard directly from CLEAR-funded scientist Dr. Jordan Hamden regarding breakthroughs in Canadian dementia research.
My sister and brother in law both work in elder care, so they frequently have told me about how heartbreaking the effects of dementia are on their residents loved ones. CLEAR is a fantastic cause which donates 100% of its profits towards pioneering scientific research into the prevention, treatment, and cure of Alzheimer's and related dementias.
