An unforgettable evening of celebration and hope! That’s the best description of Hope for Dementia’s Annual Charity Gala 2025, which was a resounding success.
Three hundred and fifty (350) business executives, community leaders and citizens came together at Le Crystal on Saturday 15 November 2025, to celebrate 10 years of progress and success of Hope for Dementia. It was an evening of networking, scientific discussion, and entertainment, for the growing community of persons advocating and taking action to promote dementia prevention.
