21st. On this day, Tioga Opportunities, Inc. will fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s disease through a variety of
activities to raise awareness. In 2021, caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias
provided more than 16 billion hours of unpaid care, a contribution to the nation valued at nearly $272 billion.
