Las Vegas restaurants join fundraising for Alzheimer’s research

More than three dozen local restaurants and bars are observing National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness & Family Caregiver Month by participating in a fundraising initiative for Keep Memory Alive and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.

During the campaign, dubbed Month of Memories, the businesses will donate a portion of their proceeds to fund research for a cure and raise awareness for the disease by designating a specialty item, rounding up the check or hosting other promotions.

For a list of participants, visit keepmemoryalive.org.

Contact Heidi Knapp Rinella at Hrinella@reviewjournal.com or 702-383-0474. Follow @HKRinella on Twitter.
