Dementia Awareness Jersey Auction and Raffle

Chicago Wolves players will wear Dementia Awareness jerseys, presented by Campfire Marshmallows, when they host the Milwaukee Admirals on Jan. 27 and the Manitoba Moose on Jan. 28 at Allstate Arena.

These commemorative jerseys will be available to own through a variety of initiatives with proceeds benefitting the Alzheimer’s Association, Lewy Body Dementia Association, Dementia Society, other Dementia Awareness-related charities and Chicago Wolves Charities, driven by Kia.

There are many responsible for the care of those suffering from Dementia—from official caregivers to family and friends—and their work often goes unrecognized. To honor these men and women for their heroic efforts, please consider making a donation for tickets for them and their family.

About the Jerseys

The logo and jersey color is based off the Forget-Me-Not Flower. The main crest has each pedal colored to represent the different Dementia flowers and what they symbolize.

These brightly colored dementia flowers convey a sense of hope to individuals who are affected by this degenerative illness. Each unique flower’s color acts as a symbol of resilience and conveys an individual’s perspective on their battle with the illness:

Blue, for those who are now coping with Alzheimer’s disease or another kind of Dementia.
Purple represents those who have lost a loved one due to Dementia.
Yellow, for the caregivers
Orange, for everybody who believes there will one day be a world without dementia.
White represents optimism

The shoulder patch is a full blue Forget-Me-Not with Dementia Awareness inside a yellow ribbon. The main colors of the jersey are a lighter shade of blue, white and yellow.

Dementia Stats and Facts

More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.
1 in 3 seniors die with Alzheimer’s or another Dementia.
Over 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other Dementias. These caregivers provided more than 18 billion hours valued at nearly $340 Billion. Lewy Body Dementia is not a rare disease–it affects more than a million people and their families in the United States alone.
Because LBD symptoms may closely resemble other more commonly known disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, it is currently widely under-diagnosed.
While only 4 in 10 Americans talk to their doctor right away when experiencing early memory or cognitive loss, 7 in 10 would want to know early if they have Alzheimer’s disease if it could allow for earlier treatment.
