AFA's annual Light the World in Teal campaign
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America works hard to support us and our mutual cause to protect and assist individuals with Alzheimer's disease and the people who care for them. While they're top of mind during this grant season, you can easily help support them in return by participating in their 2026 Light the World in Teal initiative. It's free and easy, and it helps the AFA raise awareness of and support for all they do for so many.

Simply plan now to light your corner of the building, property or world with teal-colored bulbs November 2. Take photos that day and/or night and post them to social media with a note about what you're doing and why (good content that promotes the AFA, the cause and you!). Details and inspiration here: https://lighttheworldinteal.com And please consider emailing Sandy Silverstein in advance to confirm your participation at [email protected]
That'll help him stay attuned. :)

South Carolina's Berkeley County Sheriff's Office launching Project Lifesaver to help deputies locate missing people with cognitive conditions in their community! Get the scoop here, and please share!

The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office is launching a new program designed to help deputies locate missing people with cognitive conditions, including autism, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

MISSING VULNERABLE PERSON RESCUED (This case serves as a reminder that it's getting cold in many parts of the country and that not every missing person with a cognitive condition will be receptive to being found. Speed, training and technology matter.):
March 13, 2026, Galway, New York — A 15-year-old male with comorbid developmental delays and mental-health conditions was reported missing on a day when the high temperature reached only 39 degrees F. Trained and equipped Electronic Search Specialists from the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office’s Project Lifesaver search-and-rescue program tracked their client’s radio-frequency transmitter to where they located him in the woods despite his active ongoing attempt to evade rescuers. The team’s use of Project Lifesaver technology made it impossible for the missing boy to avoid being found, and their training made it possible for them to successfully and compassionately navigate the challenges unique to this missing-person scenario. The teen, recovered in good condition, was returned home, and the mission cleared without further community or first-responder engagement, having saved precious time, resources and, most importantly, life.

The new program, Project Lifesaver, uses small, wearable transmitters that emit unique radio signals, allowing law enforcement to track enrolled individuals who wander away from home.

Sheriff Duane Lewis said the program has been in the works for eight or nine months, but the death of Saylor Hayes, a 5-year-old autistic, nonverbal child who died in the water on Pawleys Island last month, helped spur the effort forward.
