Specialty Car Tag

Drive to End Alzheimer’s! Catch them looking in your rearview mirror. In 2011, the Alzheimer’s Association Mississippi Chapter lobbied the Legislature and a legislation was passed, establishing a distinctive license plate for the Alzheimer’s Association in our state! The Alzheimer’s Association administers this program so that $24 of the $31 tag cost has been earmarked to further care, support and research of the Alzheimer’s Association Mississippi Chapter. The money from the sale of the car tag is used to provide education, training and resources in regard to Alzheimer’s disease to individuals across the state.
Help us reach our goal of selling 300 plates by Oct. 1st!
