The UK’s leading dementia charity was announced as the Official Charity to the prestigious tournament in 2019 and will return in 2021 as beneficiaries of the charitable funds raised through a variety of onsite activations, bolstered by the return of fans to the Surrey venue.
September marks World Alzheimer’s Month, with World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21. Fans at the BMW PGA Championship will have the opportunity to help raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society and its vital work when it has never been more needed, with people with dementia among those worst hit by coronavirus.
The partnership will build on the charity’s work with the sports industry. Alzheimer’s Society’s Sport United Against Dementia campaign will bring the sporting world together to fund research, help people remain connected to their local communities through the clubs they know and love, build awareness of dementia, break down stigmas and fund vital support services to ensure the sporting community can get the dementia support they deserve.
