An online quilt auction will raise funds for the Wyoming Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, which provides direct care, support, education and advocacy for those with dementia and their caregivers.
Alzheimer’s or another dementia affects 7% of Wyoming residents, a number that will rise as baby boomers continue to age. Over 10,000 Wyomingites are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, and 28,000 Wyomingites care for them.
The Wyoming chapter also raises funds for research vital to finding treatments, prevention and a cure.
To raise needed funds, the chapter is hosting a quilt auction on their Facebook page (Alzheimer’s Association: Wyoming).
“Several beautiful, handmade quilts of various sizes have been donated for this auction,” the chapter said.
A post with a photo of each quilt, the starting bid and bid increment with be pinned to the top of the chapter’s Facebook page. Bids are placed by typing the amount in the comments section.
Bidding started on Monday and goes through Nov. 23 at noon. Winning bids will be both announced on the Facebook page and messaged to the winners, with details on how to submit payment. Shipping costs will be added to the winning bids.
For more information, call 307-287-6569.
