Alzheimer’s disease touches countless lives across New York, often quietly affecting families and workplaces alike. Emery & Webb, Inc. knows this struggle firsthand, as many in their agency have lost loved ones or cared for relatives battling the disease. Committed to making a difference, Emery & Webb proudly partners with the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter to raise awareness, support caregivers, and fund critical research toward a cure.
Agency executive Ed Gentile helped form and now leads an executive leadership committee for the nonprofit, responsible for corporate fundraising for the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s each October. Emery & Webb is more than a sponsor—they are active participants, organizing a dedicated agency team for the walk and raising funds year-round through personal donations and family support. They also take part in the Sub-zero Heroes event every February, braving icy waters momentarily in exchange for funding long-term assistance for caregivers. Last year, Emery & Webb was the #3 corporate team fundraiser for the Association, with dozens walking to honor loved ones and caregivers affected by this devastating disease.
“We hope to foster a workplace culture that supports employees dealing with Alzheimer’s personally or as caregivers,” says Ed. “Raising awareness is just the start—we want to be part of the solution.”
With a $10,000 Make More Happen Award, the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter can expand caregiver support groups, host educational events, and accelerate scientific research. Vote for Emery & Webb, Inc. to help create a future free of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
