\nThe gala event, on January 14, will be held at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel. The company has hundreds of agents nationwide, all invited to the conference. Those attending the gala will don purple capes as \u201cWizards of Alzheimer\u2019s\u201d to highlight the need to \u201ckill the wicked witch.\u201d Media representatives are welcome.<\/p>\n
Last year, the company raised thousands of dollars for the Alzheimer\u2019s Association. \u201cWe aim to raise thousands again this year,\u201d says Denise Gott, CEO.<\/p>\n
Why the company\u2019s interest in Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s simple,\u201d says Gott. \u201cThe disease has become a leading reason care is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a real threat to most families,\u201d says Gott. \u201cAt some point Alzheimer\u2019s sufferers may need help eating, moving around, or going to the bathroom. Unless their loved ones are prepared to help them do such things, they need savings or insurance to hire professionals. Our mission is to educate Americans about their options.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually,\u201d Gott adds, \u201cwe\u2019d like to knock the disease stone dead. In the meantime, we can help people live better lives in spite of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
