Your Impact
- Quite simply, yes. The Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer's in support of Baycrest will make a profound impact on the Baycrest Foundation’s mission to support Baycrest, a leader in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia care, research and education.
- One hundred percent of all donations go directly to Baycrest Foundation and from there it pays for the costs of the event and then invests in leading-edge aging and cognitive neuroscience research, advancements in the mitigation of age-related illness and impairment and the care and treatment of patients living with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other brain function related illnesses.
- When you participate in The Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer's in support of Baycrest, you in effect become part of the Baycrest care team here in Ontario. Proceeds benefit Baycrest, an international leader in Alzheimer’s research, treatment and care. Baycrest is leading the way in the creation and implementation of the new gold standards in care for those living with aging brain health. Funds raised will be used for groundbreaking research, advances in treatment and giving hope to families and individuals in our community living with these challenging illnesses.
- As the population ages, the number of people with dementia or cognitive impairment in Canada is expected to almost double to about 1.4 million by 2031. At Baycrest, our work helps to preserve and extend the cognitive and emotional well-being of older adults. Donors to the Baycrest Foundation play a critical role in keeping Baycrest running as government funding only makes up about 64% of revenues. Contributions to the Foundation help support research in brain health and aging, education and stimulating programs that make life more meaningful for seniors at Baycrest and in the community.
- Baycrest is a global leader in geriatric residential living, healthcare, research, innovation and education, with a special focus on brain health and aging. This two-day tournament allows everyday hockey fans and hundreds of participants the chance to lace up their skates and team up with some of hockey’s greatest players to raise money for Baycrest Foundation.
- The Pro-Am started in 2004 and is entering its 18th year. We are proud to have Scotiabank as our title sponsor for 17 years!
- To date, the Scotiabank Pro-Am has raised over $34.5 million dollars. All funds raised for the Pro-Am go directly to Baycrest Health Sciences for research and education.
