SLAM DUNK ALZHEIMER'S
The Colgate men's basketball team and Beta Theta Pi fraternity will host the first annual “Slam Dunk Alzheimer's” event in conjunction with an important Patriot League game versus Bucknell.
Purple is the official color of the Alzheimer's Association. Therefore, FREE ADMISSION will be granted to anyone who is wearing a purple shirt in support of “Dunking Alzheimer's”. There will also be tee shirts commemorating the event available for a donation of any amount to the Alzheimer's Association. Former Colgate All-American and recently retired NBA player, Adonal Foyle, has graciously provided his autographed Orlando Magic Jersey to be raffled during the game for the Alzheimer's cause. 100 percent of the donations will go directly to Alzheimer's to accelerate research and move closer to a cure.
The men's basketball team will be wearing the shirts during warm- ups as we “Rain Purple” on the Bison of Bucknell. The first 500 people admitted will receive “Slam Dunk Alzheimer's “ stickers.
There will be a representative from the Alzheimer's Association on hand to answer questions about the disease and to educate us all on early detection, diagnosis and treatment options for those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. In addition, we can all learn what we can do to beat this disease!
