Friends of Coach Blaver Memorial Alzheimer's Fundraiser at Carson City's Westside Pour House
The second annual Friends of Coach Blaver Memorial Alzheimer's Fundraiser will be this Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Westside Pour House, 110 Telegraph Street in Carson City.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 in funds toward research, treatment, and respite care for families suffering through the painful process of caring for a loved one with this affliction. Every penny raised goes to the Northern California and Northern Nevada Alzheimer's Association. This money stays in our community to assist local families with much needed benefits.
Coach Richard Blaver was a very good man who taught and coached children in Northern Nevada for over 30 years. He never knew a stranger and was dearly loved by all those with whom he had contact. He lost his battle in May of this year.
Alzheimer's disease is a horrific affliction that is on the rise globally. While it is still greatly misunderstood, there have been many breakthroughs in treatment and research is ongoing to further assist those affected by the disease. Much more funding is needed though to completely understand the prevention and treatment of this heartbreaking condition.
There are 4 Grand Prize Raffle drawings with tickets at $10 each and 12 for $100. Secondary raffle prizes are $1 each and 6 for $5. With nearly 70 raffle prizes everyone has a great chance of winning. A $10 donation at the door gets you one door prize raffle ticket and light appetizers (while they last). Entry is $5 for those under 12 years of age.
