INSPIRE Benefit

Stay tuned for announcements about our 2027 INSPIRE Benefit.

Brain health is personal, powerful, and universal. While Alzheimer’s and dementia have touched countless families, brain health is a cause that impacts every one of us. INSPIRE 2027 will bring people together to advance risk reduction, research, care, and innovation so that everyone has the opportunity to live longer, healthier, more connected lives. Together, we can help protect not just our years, but the memories, relationships, and experiences that make us who we are.

Thank you to all who joined us for our 2026 INSPIRE Benefit! 

Influential community leaders and families gathered at the Dallara Experience Hub on March 1, 2026 for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana signature brunch, the INSPIRE Benefit. Reflecting the hope and promise surrounding breakthrough advancements for our mission, the INSPIRE Benefit is a unique event that celebrates our community and raises funds to support essential caregiver programs and services, education, advocacy and research. INSPIRE 2026 aimed to shine a light on the incredible caregiver universe and the many types of caregivers who make a difference every day. 

We had another record-breaking year, raising over $925,000 for care, support and research, and we could not have done it without our generous sponsors, giving society members, host committee, and attendees. Because of your generosity, we are one step closer to a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia - thank you!  

We'd especially like to thank the Waters family for sharing their caregiving story and reminding us why this mission matters so deeply. View their story in our Mission Moment video.

We'd also like to extend our gratitude to our sponsors for their leadership and commitment to a world without Alzheimer’s and dementia. Learn more about the impact of our Presenting Sponsor, Eli Lilly and Company, and our Leading Sponsor, Indiana University Health.

“Both of our families live in the long shadow of Alzheimer's disease. While we dearly miss those we lost to the disease, we want to especially honor those whose love perseveres throughout the long goodbye of Alzheimer's disease: caregivers. Please join us as we celebrate these unsung heroes and their enormous gifts."
