Forget Me Not Days® Volunteers from Banker's Life and Casualty Company take to the streets on May 16 and 17 to raise funds to benefit the Alzheimer's Association, South Central Wisconsin Chapter, in the company's annual Forget Me Not Days® event. Studies show that one in eight Americans over 65 and nearly half of Americans over 85 already live with Alzheimer's. Every 72 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer's. But you can make a difference. Please give generously when you see Bankers Life and Casualty Company Forget Me Not Days volunteers. 100% of your contribution will go to the South Central Chapter of Alzheimer's Association.
