The foundation serves caregivers for those diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. Proceeds from the second annual Drive and Dine for Dementia on July 14 will help support the nonprofit organization.

Linda Vigil, administration director, said proceeds from the fundraiser "allow the Broyles Foundation to provide support groups, individual coaching, referral services, resource materials, training and advocacy at no cost to Alzheimer's caregivers in crisis."
