Why I Play

Your participation in the Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer’s in support of Baycrest is a badge of honour. Whether you’re a hockey pro or an amateur fan of the game, we want you to tell the world why this event means so much to so many.

 

As our 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. When you support Baycrest, you’re supporting work that helps to preserve and extend the cognitive and emotional well-being of older adults.

 

Our alumni and participants shared their videos and pictures with us. Have a look and consider sharing your “Why I Play” picture or video with us too!
