Fair Oaks, CA (MPG) - The Lyon Cares Foundation announced today that Alzheimer’s Association is the recipient of a $5,000 grant. Their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research, to provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
