Former Ben-Gals lead the charge for those with Alzheimer's disease!
"My mother Helen was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2001. She was 90 years young when she lost her battle with the disease. The Cheering for Charity Foundation was founded and dedicated in her honor.
My close friend and fellow Ben-Gal Cheerleader, Julie Grinstead, also has a deeply personal connection to the profound impacts of Alzheimer's.
This powerful experience has ignited a shared passion and aspiration within us, compelling us to commit our time and energies wholeheartedly to this important cause." - Priscilla Groh, CEO
