Partner Update

Thanks for your patience as we've been working on fine tuning our vision and direction for the DriveHard fundraising project. As such we have been reviewing and evaluating several methods which will enable us to better serve and support the Alzheimer's community. After much deliberation, I'm pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Cure Alzheimer's Fund.

The goal of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund (CAF) is to stop the disease before it even strikes, with early prediction and prevention. Discovered more than 100 years ago, Alzheimer’s is a genetic disease. But up until 2005, researchers only had discovered four genes associated with the disease, which accounted for just 30 percent of the inherited risk. Since 2005, CAF has discovered 120 other genes that are linked with Alzheimer’s and make up the other 70 percent of those at risk. But more importantly, identifying these genes is the first step to understanding the cause of the disease before a cure can be found. Research is the only path to progress.

For the past five years, CAF has focused some of the best scientific minds in the industry on fighting this disease. Their researchers are focused on cutting-edge work that is making progress in the search for a cure. They are tackling the biggest issues in Alzheimer’s disease at renowned institutions across the United States and abroad.

We are very happy to be working in conjunction with the Cure Alzheimer's Fund and look forward helping them with their ongoing efforts of making breakthrough advancements relating to Alzheimer's research.  Our primary goal with the DriveHard fundraising project will be to engage the golfing community in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's through the Cure Alzheimer's Fund.
