Tupperware Fundraising Event to Benefit Alzheimers Research



In an effort to fund Alzheimer s research, the Tupperware National Fundraising Group of Ohio will host a nationwide online Tupperware party. Twenty-five percent of all money raised with go directly to support Alzheimer s research.

Lisa Timko, Fundraising Manager with Tupperware, has experienced the painful affects of Alzheimer s disease firsthand. Her mother, now age 64, was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer s at age 59. Knowing her risk of genetically inheriting the disease, Lisa decided to do something to support research in hopes a cure will be found before she and her five siblings reach their 50 s and 60 s.

As a senior staff member of the Tupperware National Fundraising Group, Lisa is challenging everyone who has been affected by Alzheimer s, whether directly or indirectly, to support the cause either through a Tupperware purchase or cash donation. We can t just sit back and watch this disease destroy lives until it ultimately touches our own or, worse yet, our children s lives, Ms. Timko says. A little bit goes a long way when we all do our part.

The National Fundraising Group of Tupperware, based in Cleveland, Ohio, will be donating 25% from each purchase made through their dedicated Alzheimer s Research website. Orders will be taken through November 30, 2005.

People who want to participate in this fundraising event can purchase a quality product they need while supporting a very important cause, says Ms. Timko. Our team isn t making any money on this fundraiser. All profit will fund Alzheimer s research.
