This past Saturday, our Daugherty Foundation team was proud to attend the Alzheimer’s Association 2025 Beacon of Hope Gala — one of the nation’s leading events supporting Alzheimer’s research and care.

It was an unforgettable evening surrounded by 500+ advocates, caregivers, and community leaders. Together, we helped raise an incredible $1,080,000 through donations and the auction to fuel the fight against Alzheimer’s.

One of the most powerful moments of the night was hearing Ron’s heartfelt video message. Ron announced a multi-million dollar pledge from the Daugherty Foundation, making a compassionate call to action to continue supporting families, funding breakthrough research, and advancing hope for a cure. His message deeply moved the room and earned a standing ovation.

We left the gala reminded of the power of community, generosity, and the belief that together, we can change lives.

We are honored to stand with the Alzheimer’s Association® and everyone working to bring an end to this devastating disease.
