Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative

MacDowell, Marsha

January; 5; 2015

The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative™ (www.AlzQuilts.org) was a national grassroots charity that began in 2006 and ended in 2013 with a mission to raise awareness about and to fund Alzheimer’s research. Quilt artist Ami Simms of Flint, Michigan, who founded and served as volunteer executive director of AAQI, was inspired to start this effort by her mother, who had Alzheimer’s. The AAQI auctioned and sold donated quilts, sponsored a nationally touring quilt exhibit, and achieved a goal of raising $1,000,000 to support basic research about dementia and Alzheimer’s.
