Since 1984, Sigma Kappa Sorority has made Alzheimer's disease research its philanthropic focus. That commitment has now surpassed $20 million — powered by 240,000 members across 115 collegiate chapters and 93 alumnae groups. 💜

Behind that number are stories like Kayla's. A Sigma Kappa sister who lost her grandfather to Alzheimer's, Kayla says the cause means far more to her than fundraising totals.

"Sigma Kappas around the country have made a difference so much more than we will probably ever know."

Sometimes the smallest moment makes the biggest difference. Etolia Biggs was pushing her mother, who is living with Alzheimer’s, down the sidewalk to catch their ride when her mother began to scream, one of the ways she expresses herself. Crystal Day-Black, who volunteers with the Alzheimer’s Association Maryland Chapter, was returning a shopping cart when she rolled up beside them, matched their pace and said, “Let’s race!” Then she called out “weeeeeee,” as if they were on a roller coaster.

In that moment, Etolia says, she felt seen as a caregiver. 💜 "Without saying anything extra, that action reminded me the screaming was okay." Thank you, Crystal, and thank you, Etolia, for sharing your story.

Small acts of kindness matter. If you’re caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, you’re not alone. Visit alz.org or call the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900
