35th Annual Peter Saracino Alzheimer Golf Auction

On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the Alzheimer Society Niagara Foundation will be hosting its 35th Annual Peter Saracino Alzheimer Golf Classic at Rockway Vineyards.  It’s more than just a day of golf; it’s a swing for change!   

Our event is dedicated to the memory of our late Chief Executive Officer, and to date has raised more than ONE MILLION DOLLARS to support local Alzheimer’s programs and services.

Support our Online Auction and help us reach our Fundraising Goal.  Every dollar raised stays local helping fund essential programs, respite care, and education programs that empower families to live well with their diagnosis.

Together, we can build a community where no one faces Alzheimer’s alone, and you can be a driving force behind that vision! 

Today, we are at a tipping point. The number of people living with Alzheimer's and dementia is growing rapidly.  Every day, more than 414 people in Canada develop dementia (more than 17 every hour) that’s why it’s so important we continue the conversation, raise funds, and spread awareness in our community. 

In Niagara, we have one of the highest percentages of seniors per capita, yet we lack available specialized geriatric resources compared to other communities. Currently, there are over 12,477 people in Niagara alone who are experiencing a progressive dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.
 
The Alzheimer Society of Niagara Region offers specialized counselling services to mitigate risk, a vast array of wellness and social programs, and opportunities to educate people living with dementia, their families, caregivers, and the public at large.

From 2025-2026, we:
 Accepted over 2,000 new referrals across the Niagara Region 

Served 3,749 unique individuals across all departments 

Conducted 13,118 visits across the whole organization 

Had a total attendance of 12,902 at all programs 

Provided 50,265 hours of Respite Care 

294 Volunteers provided 4,521 hours of volunteer services.
