I found the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative during my mother-in-law's 15 year struggle with Alzheimer's. As a quilter, this is the best way I can help contribute to the fight to end this disease. Every year I donate several quilts. There are other ways to donate towards Alzheimer's research, but I have chosen the AAQI as my way to express my feelings and do my small part.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
It is so exciting and gratifying to see that my quilts have sold, often for far more than I expected. And to know that the money all goes to Alzheimer's research is wonderful!
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Accept larger quilts on a regular basis for auction.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I have made a couple dozen quilts, as well as helped out with non-profit registration in several states.
