Cobwebs & Caviar supports Alzheimer Society

Cobwebs and Caviar recently held their Notion Commotion, in which all ticket sales were donated back to the Alzheimers Society of Dufferin County.
Coffee Break is an annual nation-wide fundraiser where friends, clients, family, co-workers, and customers come together in communities across Canada to raise funds for their local Alzheimer Society.
Traditionally, participants will make a donation in exchange for a coffee or a paper coffee cup cut-out, but many events have evolved into so much more, such as wine and cheese parties, book club meetings, fish fries, business conferences, dress down days or a daily special. Or a “Notion Commotion.”
You can choose to host for a day, a weekend, a week, or a month. A Coffee Break can be anything you want it to be!
All funds raised stay right here in our community and goes toward education and support programs for both caregivers and persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Coffee Break events typically take place any time throughout September through November.
If you would like to learn more about hosting your own Coffee Break event, please contact Kristi Moore for more details at 519-941-1221 or kristimoore@alzheimerdufferin.org.
